More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book.
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
And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.
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
If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that--warm things, kind things, sweet things--help and comfort and laughter--and sometimes gay, kind laughter is the best help of all.
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
She did not care very much for other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could console herself.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
we do not believe until we want a thing and feel that we shall die if 'tis not granted to us, and then we kneel and kneel and believe, because we must have someone to ask help from.
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
All women are princesses , it is our right.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
People never like me and I never like people, she thought. And I never can talk as the Crawford children could. They were always talking and laughing and making noises.
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
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
death is always sudden however long one waits.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Yes, answered Sara, nodding. Adversity tries people, and mine has tried you and proved how nice you are.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world, but people don't know what it is like or how to make it.
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
How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
... justice is mercy's highest self.
