Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
James M. Barrie
We are all failures - at least the best of us are.
James M. Barrie
Never say goodbye because goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting.
James M. Barrie
Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
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?
