More quotes by James M. Barrie
Courage: The lovely virtue-the rib of Himself that God sent down to His children.
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
Do you believe in fairies? Say quick that you believe. If you believe, clap your hands!
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
Strength instead of being the lusty child of passion, grows by grappling with and subduing them.
James M. Barrie
Nobody really wants us. So let us watch and say jaggy things, in the hope that some of them will hurt.
James M. Barrie
i know i'm not clever but i'm always right.
James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.
James M. Barrie
Our heroine knew that the mother would always leave the window open for her children to fly back by so they stayed away for years and had a lovely time.
James M. Barrie
I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not, it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
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
She was a large woman who seemed not so much dressed as upholstered.
James M. Barrie
Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
James M. Barrie
If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.
James M. Barrie
She adored all beautiful things in their every curve and fragrance, so that they became part of her. Day by day, she gathered beauty had she had no heart (she who was the bosom of womanhood) her thoughts would still have been as lilies, because the good is the beautiful.
James M. Barrie
He looked at her uncomfortably blinking, you know, like one not sure whether he was awake or asleep.
James M. Barrie
Life is a long lesson in humility.
James M. Barrie
After a time he fell asleep, and some unsteady fairies had to climb over him on their way home from an orgy.
James M. Barrie
Love is not blind it is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard.
James M. Barrie
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.
James M. Barrie
