More quotes by Margaret Mitchell

Margaret Mitchell
The liar was the hottest to defend his veracity, the coward his courage, the ill-bred his gentlemanliness, and the cad his honor
Margaret Mitchell
That is the one unforgivable sin in any society. Be different and be damned!
Margaret Mitchell
And if we folks have a motto, it's this: 'Don't holler - smile and bide your time.' We've survived a passel of things that way, smiling and biding our time, and we've gotten to be experts at surviving.
Margaret Mitchell

Margaret Mitchell

Margaret Mitchell
But she knew that no matter what beauty lay behind, it must remain there. No one could go forward with a load of aching memories.
Margaret Mitchell
You have eternity in which to explain and only one night to be a martyr in the amphitheater Get out, darling, and let me see the lions eat you.
Margaret Mitchell
They were always like two people talking to each other in different languages. But she loved him so much, when he withdrew as he had now done, it was like the warm sun going down and leaving her in chilly twilight dews.
Margaret Mitchell
She could not ignore life. She had to live it and it was too brutal, too hostile, for her even to try to gloss over its harshness with a smile
Margaret Mitchell
The South produced statesmen and soldiers, planters and doctors, lawyers and poets, but certainly not engineers or mechanics. Let the Yankees adopt such low callings.
Margaret Mitchell
[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.
Margaret Mitchell
The happiest days are when babies come.
Margaret Mitchell
She hasn't your strength. She's never had any strength. She's never had anything but heart.
Margaret Mitchell
