Frances Hodgson Burnett Quotes

"Everything is made out of Magic, leaves and trees, flowers and birds, badgers and foxes and squirrels and people. So it must be all around us. In this garden-in all the places." ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett "Of course there must be lots of Magic in the world," he said wisely one day, "but people don't know what it is like or how to make it. Perhaps the beginning is just to say nice things are going to happen until you make them happen." ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett "Tha'll make him laugh an' there's nowt as good for ill folk as laughin' is. Mother says she believes as half a hour's good laugh every mornin' 'ud cure a chap as was makin' ready for typhus fever." ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett "Mother says as th' two worst things as can happen to a child is never to have his own way-or always to have it. She doesn't know which is th' worst." ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off-and they are nearly always doing it. ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett "Where, you tend a rose, my lad,
A thistle cannot grow." ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett One of the new things people began to find out in the last century was that thoughts--just mere thoughts--are as powerful as electric batteries--as good for one as sunlight is, or as bad for one as poison. ~ The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
