More quotes by Hans Christian Andersen
But shouldn't all of us on earth give the best we have to others and offer whatever is in our power?
Hans Christian Andersen
There was once a merchant who was so rich that he might have paved the whole street, and a little alley besides, with silver money. But he didn't do it--he knew better how to use his money than that.
Hans Christian Andersen
Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead.
Hans Christian Andersen
Does all the beauty of the world stop when you die? No, said the Old Oak it will last much longer - longer than I can even think of. Well, then, said the little May-fly, we have the same time to live only we reckon differently.
Hans Christian Andersen
My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident.
Hans Christian Andersen
Now, if we only had as many casks of butter as there are people here, then I would eat lots of butter!
Hans Christian Andersen
Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.
Hans Christian Andersen
To travel is to live.
Hans Christian Andersen
Most of the people who will walk after me will be children, so make the beat keep time with short steps.
Hans Christian Andersen
Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
Hans Christian Andersen
The wiser a man becomes, the more he will read, and those who are wisest read most.
Hans Christian Andersen
When the bird of the heart begins to sing, too often will reason stop up her ears.
Hans Christian Andersen
Each time I think that the song is ended ... something higher and better begins for me.
Hans Christian Andersen
Travelling expands the mind rarely.
Hans Christian Andersen
I covet honour in the same way as a miser covets gold.
Hans Christian Andersen
Everything you look at can become a fairy tale and you can get a story from everything you touch.
Hans Christian Andersen
Farewell, farewell, said the swallow, with a heavy heart, as he left the warm countries, to fly back into Denmark. There he had a nest over the window of a house in which dwelt the writer of fairy tales. The swallow sang Tweet, tweet, and from his song came the whole story.
Hans Christian Andersen
He found whole figures which represented a written word but he never could manage to represent just the word he wanted - that word was 'eternity', and the Snow Queen had said, If you can discover that figure, you shall be your own master, and I will make you a present of the whole world and a pair of new skates. But he could not find it out.
Hans Christian Andersen
Where words fail, music speaks.
Hans Christian Andersen
We haven't yet got eyes that can gaze into all the splendour that God has created, but we shall get them one day and that will be the finest fairy tale of all, for we shall be in it ourselves.
Hans Christian Andersen
