Always try to be a litle kinder than necessary.
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
It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Some women, the few, have charm for all and most have charm for one. But some have charm for none.
James M. Barrie
Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.
James M. Barrie
I am aware that those hateful persons called Original Researchers now maintain that Raleigh was not the man but to them I turn a deaf ear.
James M. Barrie
Always be kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.
James M. Barrie
All are keeping a sharp look-out in front, but none suspects that the danger may be creeping up from behind.
James M. Barrie
