In England, justice is open to all - like the Ritz Hotel.
James M. Barrie
If 'Hamlet' had been written in these days it would probably have been called 'The Strange Affair at Elsinore.
James M. Barrie
Oh, the cleverness of me!
James M. Barrie
How shall we ever know if it's morning if there's no servant to pull up the blinds?
James M. Barrie
You find a glimmer of happiness in this world, there's always someone who wants to destroy it.
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
Absence makes the heart grow fonder… or forgetful.
James M. Barrie
Always try to be a litle kinder than necessary.
James M. Barrie
I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.
James M. Barrie

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
A safe but sometimes chilly way of recalling the past is to force open a crammed drawer. If you are searching for anything in particular you don't find it, but something falls out at the back that is often more interesting.
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
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
Let no one who loves be unhappy, even love unreturned has its rainbow.
James M. Barrie
Young boys should never be sent to bed. They always wake up a day older.
James M. Barrie
Never is an awfully long time.
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
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
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
