Frances Hodgson Burnett Quotes

How it is that animals understand things I do not know, but it is certain that they do understand. Perhaps there is a language which is not made of words and everything in the world understands it. Perhaps there is a soul hidden in everything and it can always speak, without even making a sound, to another soul Picture Quote #1

Much more surprising things can happen to anyone who, when a disagreeable or discouraged thought comes into his mind, just has the sense to remember in time and push it out by putting in an agreeable, determinedly courageous one. Two things cannot be in one place Picture Quote #1

As she came closer to him she noticed that there was a clean fresh scent of heather and grass and leaves about him, almost as if he were made of them. She liked it very much and when she looked into his funny face with the red cheeks and round blue eyes she forgot that she had felt shy Picture Quote #1

When a man looks at the stars, he grows calm and forgets small things. They answer his questions and show him that his earth is only one of the million worlds. Hold your soul still and look upward often, and you will understand their speech. Never forget the stars Picture Quote #1

The magic in this garden has made me stand up and know I am going to live to be a man Picture Quote #1

When the day comes that I kneel by your bedside and see your eyes close, or you kneel by mine, it must be that the one who waits behind shall know the parting is not all Picture Quote #1

A person who was clever ought to be clever enough not to be unjust or deliberately unkind to anyone Picture Quote #1

She says it has nothing to do with what you look like, or what you have. It has only to do with what you think of and what you do Picture Quote #1

You and me are a good bit alike. We’re neither of us good lookin’, and we’re both as sour as we look Picture Quote #1

As long as you have a garden you have a future and as long as you have a future you are alive Picture Quote #1

Somehow, something always happens just before things get to the very worst. It is as if magic did it. If I could only just remember that always. The worse thing never quite comes Picture Quote #1

Perhaps to be able to learn things quickly isn't everything. To be kind is worth a great deal to other people... Lots of clever people have done harm and have been wicked Picture Quote #1

It made her think that it was curious how much nicer a person looked when he smiled. She had not thought of it before Picture Quote #1

Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was suddenly disturbed while absorbed in a book Picture Quote #1

As long as one has a garden, one has a future. As long as one has a future, one is alive Picture Quote #1

If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden Picture Quote #1

Two things cannot be in one place. Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow Picture Quote #1

I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses Picture Quote #1

My mother always says people should be able to take care of themselves, even if they're rich and important Picture Quote #1

She did not care very much for other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could console herself Picture Quote #1

If I go on talking and talking... and telling you things about pretending, I shall bear it better. You don't forget, but you bear it better Picture Quote #1

Soldiers don't complain...I am not going to do it; I will pretend this is part of a war Picture Quote #1

I am writing in the garden. To write as one should of a garden one must write not outside it or merely somewhere near it, but in the garden Picture Quote #1

There's nothing so strong as rage, except what makes you hold it in-that's stronger. It's a good thing not to answer your enemies. I scarcely ever do Picture Quote #1

Hang in there. It is astonishing how short a time it can take for very wonderful things to happen Picture Quote #1

What you have to do with your mind, when your body is miserable, is to make it think of something else Picture Quote #1
