James M. Barrie
Yet if he upbraided her in his hurry, it was to repent bitterly his temper the next, and to feel its effects more than she, temper being a weapon that we hold by the blade.
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
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
James M. Barrie
As soon as you can say what you think and not what some other person has thought for you, you are on the way to being a remarkable man.
James M. Barrie
i know i'm not clever but i'm always right.
