More quotes by James M. Barrie
There are, I dare say, many lovers who would never have been drawn to each other had they met for the first time, as, say, they met the second time.
James M. Barrie
We should be slower to think that the man at his worst is the real man, and certain that the better we are ourselves the less likely is he to be at his worst in our company. Every time he talks away his own character before us he is signifying contempt for ours.
James M. Barrie
Always be kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
That is ever the way. Tis all jealousy to the bride and good wishes to the corpse.
James M. Barrie
If I were younger, I'd know more.
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
Some of my plays peter out and some pan out.
James M. Barrie
What is afraid?' asked Peter longingly. He thought it must be some splendid thing. 'I do wish you would teach me how to be afraid, Maimie,' he said.
James M. Barrie
When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.
James M. Barrie
Make your feet your friend.
James M. Barrie
When ladies used to come to me in dreams, I said, 'Pretty mother, pretty mother.' But when at last she really came, I shot her.
James M. Barrie
I do loathe explanations.
James M. Barrie
Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.
James M. Barrie
One's religion is whatever he is most interested in.
James M. Barrie
Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.
James M. Barrie
You always know after you are two. Two is the beginning of the end.
James M. Barrie
Most disquieting reflection of all, was it not bad form to think about good form?
James M. Barrie
They were going round and round the island, but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate.
James M. Barrie
Will they reach the nursery in time? If so, how delightful for them, and we shall all breathe a sigh of relief, but there will be no story. On the other hand, if they are not in time, I solemnly promise that it will all come right in the end.
James M. Barrie
Life is a long lesson in humility.
James M. Barrie
