More quotes by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Everything's a story - You are a story -I am a story.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The mug from the washstand was used as Becky's tea cup, and the tea was so delicious that it was not necessary to pretend that it was anything but tea.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
Yes, answered Sara, nodding. Adversity tries people, and mine has tried you and proved how nice you are.
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
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
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
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
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
Only in dreams of spring Shall I ever see again The flowering of my cherry trees.
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
The Magic in this garden has made me stand up and know I am going to live to be a man.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
She liked books more than anything else, and was, in fact, always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to 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
Two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way - or always to have it.
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
Her affection for everything she could love increased.
Frances Hodgson Burnett
The robin flew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. 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
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
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
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
