Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.
James M. Barrie
Second to the right, and straight on till morning.' That, Peter had told Wendy, was the way to the Neverland but even birds, carrying maps and consulting them at windy corners, could not have sighted it with these instructions. Peter, you see, just said anything that came into his head.
James M. Barrie
Oh, the cleverness of me!
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
You [Scots] come of a race of men the very wind of whose name has swept to the ultimate seas.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
What a polite game tennis is. The chief word in it seems to be sorry and admiration of each other's play crosses the net as frequently as the ball.
James M. Barrie
She was a large woman who seemed not so much dressed as upholstered.
James M. Barrie
All children, except one, grow up.
James M. Barrie
I've sometimes thought . . . that the difference between us and the English is that the Scotch are hard in all other respects but soft with women, and the English are hard with women but soft in all other respects.
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
