More quotes by Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen

Hans Christian Andersen

There dwell the Sea King and his subjects.

Hans Christian Andersen
I covet honour in the same way as a miser covets gold.
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
To travel is to live.
Hans Christian Andersen
Eighty percent of our criminals come from unsympathetic homes.
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
In the days of Moses and the prophets such a man would have been counted among the wise men of the land in the Middle Ages he would have been burned at the stake.
Hans Christian Andersen
