More quotes by James M. Barrie
I am not young enough to know everything.
James M. Barrie
Love is not blind it is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard.
James M. Barrie
There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make.
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
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
The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.
James M. Barrie
Feeling that Peter was on his way back, the Neverland had again woke into life. We ought to use the pluperfect and say wakened, but woke is better and was always used by Peter.
James M. Barrie
The Elizabethan age might be better named the beginning of the smoking era.
James M. Barrie
A moment after the fairy's entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in.
James M. Barrie
On these magic shores children at play are for ever beaching their coracles. We too have been there we can still hear the sound of the surf, though we shall land no more.
James M. Barrie
We are all failures - at least the best of us are.
James M. Barrie
Life is a long lesson in humility.
James M. Barrie
In dinner talk it is perhaps allowable to fling any faggot rather than let the fire go out.
James M. Barrie
I do believe in fairies, I do, I do.
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
I bowl so slowly that if I don't like a ball I can run after it and bring it back
James M. Barrie
All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust.
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
We have a right to know the truth no right to ask anything else from God, but the right to know that.
James M. Barrie
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
James M. Barrie
