More quotes by James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Forget not your past, for in the future it may help you grow
James M. Barrie
The fairies, as their custom, clapped their hands with delight over their cleverness, and they were so madly in love with the little house that they could not bear to think they had finished it.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
How shall we ever know if it's morning if there's no servant to pull up the blinds?
James M. Barrie
The praise that comes of love does not make us vain, but humble rather. Knowing what we are, the pride that shines in our mother's eyes as she looks at us is about the most pathetic thing a man has to face, but he would be a devil altogether if it did not burn some of the sin out of him.
James M. Barrie
A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in.
James M. Barrie
Don't have a mother,' he said. Not only had he no mother, but he had not the slightest desire to have one. He thought them very over-rated persons.
James M. Barrie
It may have been quixotic, but it was magnificent.
James M. Barrie
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
James M. Barrie
Yet if he upbraided her in his hurry, it was to repent bitterly his temper the next, and to feel its effects more than she, temper being a weapon that we hold by the blade.
James M. Barrie
Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.
James M. Barrie
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
James M. Barrie
But the years came and went without bringing the careless boy and when they met again Wendy was a married woman, and Peter was no more to her than a little dust in the box in which she had kept her toys.
James M. Barrie
