More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Her affection for everything she could love increased.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
That's what I look at some people for. I like to know about them. I think them over afterward.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Folks who make such a fuss about their rights turn them into wrongs sometimes. -- (from Behind the White Brick)
Frances Hodgson Burnett
death is always sudden however long one waits.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
One of the strange things about living in the world is that it is only now and then one is quite sure one is going to live forever and ever and ever.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off - and they are nearly always doing it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
When a man looks at the stars, he grows calm and forgets small things. They answer his questions and show him that his earth is only one of the million worlds. Hold your soul still and look upward often, and you will understand their speech. Never forget the stars.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She says it has nothing to do with what you look like, or what you have. It has only to do with what you think of and what you do.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
When Mary Lennox was sent to Misselthwaite Manor to live with her uncle everybody said she was the most disagreeable-looking child ever seen. It was true too . . . she was as tyrannical and selfish a little pig as ever lived.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Whatever comes cannot alter one thing.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
...and her mother had been a great beauty who cared only to go to parties and amuse herself with gay parties.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off and they are nearly always doing it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The mug from the washstand was used as Becky's tea cup, and the tea was so delicious that it was not necessary to pretend that it was anything but tea.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Imagine, if you can, what the rest of the evening was like. How they crouched by the fire which blazed and leaped and made much of itself in the little grate. How they removed the covers of the dishes, and found rich, hot savory soup, which was a meal in itself, and sandwiches and toast and muffins enough for both of them.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Whatever comes, she said, cannot alter one thing. If I am a princess in rags and tatters, I can be a princess inside. It would be easy to be a princess if I were dressed in cloth of gold, but it is a great deal more of a triumph to be one all the time when no one knows it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
If you fill your mind with a beautiful thought, there will be no room in it for an ugly one. - King Amor
