More quotes by James M. Barrie
Always be kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
After you have been unfair to him he will love you again, but he will never afterwards be quite the same boy. No one ever gets over the first unfairness no one except Peter.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
The best of our fiction is by novelists who allow that it is as good as they can give, and the worst by novelists who maintain that they could do much better if only the public would let them.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
You must have been warned against letting the golden hours slip by but some of them are golden only because we let them slip by.
James M. Barrie
I bowl so slowly that if I don't like a ball I can run after it and bring it back
James M. Barrie
Them that has china plates themsel's is the maist careful not to break the china plates of others
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
If he thought at all, but I don't believe he ever thought, it was that he and his shadow, when brought near each other, would join like drops of water.
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
Oh, the cleverness of me!
James M. Barrie
Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
James M. Barrie
There is a saying in the Neverland that,every time you breathe, a grown-up dies.
James M. Barrie
