More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Frances Hodgson Burnett
a person who was clever ought to be clever enough not to be unjust or deliberately unkind to anyone.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
It's so different to be a sparrow. But nobody asked this rat if he wanted to be a rat when he was made. Nobody said, 'Wouldn't you rather be a sparrow?
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
It's so easy that when you begin you can't stop. You just go on and on doing it always.

Frances Hodgson Burnett
Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.
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
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
Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.
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
Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.
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
Folks who make such a fuss about their rights turn them into wrongs sometimes. -- (from Behind the White Brick)
