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
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
Girls are much too clever to fall out of their prams
