More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.
Frances Hodgson Burnett

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
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 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
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
death is always sudden however long one waits.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Whatever comes cannot alter one thing.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.
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
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
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
... justice is mercy's highest self.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
You either build up or you tear down. You either keep in the light where you can see, or you stand in the dark and fight everything that comes near you, because you can't see and you think it's an enemy.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
