More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Magic in this garden has made me stand up and know I am going to live to be a man.
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
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
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
And the secret garden bloomed and bloomed and every morning revealed new miracles.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She wished she could talk as he did. His speech was so quick and easy. It sounded as if he liked her and was not the least afraid she would not like him, though he was only a common moor boy, in patched clothes and with a funny face and a rough, rusty-red head.
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
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
Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Whatever comes cannot alter one thing.
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
All women are princesses , it is our right.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
death is always sudden however long one waits.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
However many years she lived, Mary always felt that 'she should never forget that first morning when her garden began to grow'.
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
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
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 you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.
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
