More quotes by Margaret Mitchell
Scarlett O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were.
Margaret Mitchell
[T]he merciful adjustment which nature makes when what cannot be cured must be endured.
Margaret Mitchell
People must do what they must do. We all don't think alike or act alike and it's wrong to-to judge others by ourselves.
Margaret Mitchell
Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything.
Margaret Mitchell
The happiest days are when babies come.
Margaret Mitchell
God help the man who ever really loves you.
Margaret Mitchell
. . . She knew only that if she did or said thus-and-so, men would unerringly respond with the complimentary thus-and-so. It was like a mathematical formula and no more difficult, for mathematics was the one subject that had come easy to Scarlett in her schooldays.
Margaret Mitchell
Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.
Margaret Mitchell
How wonderful to know someone who was bad and dishonorable and a cheat and a liar, when all the world was filled with people who would not lie to save their souls and who would rather starve than do a dishonorable deed!
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

Margaret Mitchell
Everywhere, women gathered in knots, huddled in groups on front porches, on sidewalks, even in the middle of the streets, telling each other that no news is good news, trying to comfort each other, trying to present a brave appearance.
Margaret Mitchell
I'd cut up my heart for you to wear if you wanted it.
Margaret Mitchell
Take my handkerchief, Scarlett. Never, at any crisis of your life, have I known you to have a handkerchief.
Margaret Mitchell
Vanity was stronger than love at sixteen and there was no room in her hot heart now for anything but hate.
Margaret Mitchell
I'm riding you with a slack rein, my pet, but don't forget that I'm riding with curb and spurs just the same.
Margaret Mitchell
I will think about that tomorrow!
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
There ain't nothin' from the outside can lick any of us.
Margaret Mitchell
Every problem has two handles. You can grab it by the handle of fear or the handle of hope.
Margaret Mitchell
