More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
As long as you have a garden you have a future and as long as you have a future you are alive.
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
There's naught as nice as th' smell o' good clean earth, except th' smell o' fresh growin' things when th' rain falls on 'em.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Her affection for everything she could love increased.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.
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
Is the spring coming? he said. What is it like?... It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She did not know that this was the best thing she could have done, and she did not know that, when she began to walk quickly or even run along the paths and down the avenue, she was stirring her slow blood and making herself stronger by fighting with the wind which swept down from the moor.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's so beautiful! she said, a little breathless with her speed. You never saw anything so beautiful! It has come! I thought it had come that other morning, but it was only coming. It is here now! It has come, the Spring!
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Whatever comes cannot alter one thing.
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
Frances Hodgson Burnett
If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's so easy that when you begin you can't stop. You just go on and on doing it always.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world, he said wisely one day, but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen. I am going to try and experiment.
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
Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Perhaps to be able to learn things quickly isn't everything. To be kind is worth a great deal to other people...Lots of clever people have done harm and have been wicked.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The truth is that when one is still a child-or even if one is grown up- and has been well fed, and has slept long and softly and warm when one has gone to sleep in the midst of a fairy story, and has wakened to find it real, one cannot be unhappy or even look as if one were and one could not, if one tried, keep a glow of joy out of one's eyes.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
... justice is mercy's highest self.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if Magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
