James M. Barrie
The gates of heaven are so easily found when we are little, and they are always standing open to let children wander in.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
James M. Barrie
Every time you say you don't believe in fairies, a fairy dies.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie
Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.
James M. Barrie
David tells me that fairies never say 'We feel happy': what they say is, 'We feel dancey'.
James M. Barrie
To die will be an awfully big adventure.
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
i know i'm not clever but i'm always right.
James M. Barrie
I do loathe explanations.
James M. Barrie
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
James M. Barrie
