More quotes by James M. Barrie
The praise that comes of love does not make us vain, but humble rather. Knowing what we are, the pride that shines in our mother's eyes as she looks at us is about the most pathetic thing a man has to face, but he would be a devil altogether if it did not burn some of the sin out of him.
James M. Barrie
Love is not blind it is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard.
James M. Barrie
Forget not your past, for in the future it may help you grow
James M. Barrie
Again came that ringing crow, and Peter dropped in front of them. Greeting, boys, he cried, and mechanically they saluted, and then again was silence. He frowned. I am back, he said hotly, why do you not cheer?
James M. Barrie
We should be slower to think that the man at his worst is the real man, and certain that the better we are ourselves the less likely is he to be at his worst in our company. Every time he talks away his own character before us he is signifying contempt for ours.
James M. Barrie
I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
James M. Barrie

James M. Barrie
Mr. and Mrs. Darling and Nana rushed into the nursery too late. The birds were flown
James M. Barrie
Wise children always choose a mother who was a shocking flirt in her maiden days, and so had several offers before she accepted their fortunate papa.
James M. Barrie
Most disquieting reflection of all, was it not bad form to think about good form?
James M. Barrie
He looked at her uncomfortably blinking, you know, like one not sure whether he was awake or asleep.
James M. Barrie
They were going round and round the island, but they did not meet because all were going at the same rate.
James M. Barrie
When a new baby laughs for the first time a new fairy is born, and as there are always new babies there are always new fairies.
James M. Barrie
They have long lost count of the days, but always if they want to do anything special they say this is saturday night, and then they do it.
James M. Barrie
The man of science appears to be the only man who has something to say just now, and the only man who does not know how to say it.
James M. Barrie
One girl is worth more use than 20 boys.
James M. Barrie
Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.
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
If I were younger, I'd know more.
James M. Barrie
Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.
James M. Barrie
