Not all... some definitely are and some sound as if they ought to be but probably aren't.

Re: Enid Blyton Quotes
Quite a lot of them appear to have been taken from our forums thread 'The wisdom of Enid Blyton':

I've seen the following quotation attributed to Enid Blyton on several other websites as well as Picturequotes (we once had a forums member who used it as their signature) but was it really said/written by Enid?:
"Leave something for someone but don't leave someone for something."

Re: Enid Blyton Quotes
It's sounds very much like one of the 'mottoes of the week' in 'Enid Blyton's Book of the Year' - which were sent in by various schools across the country. I can't find it, but then there are 52 mottoes, and I may have missed a few!Anita Bensoussane wrote:

'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

Re: Enid Blyton Quotes
Quite a lot of them are definitely Enid, but some I'm not so sure about... it would be interesting to search through those mottoes.

Re: Enid Blyton Quotes
That quote doesn't sound like Enid to me. I'm probably quite wrong because I don't know very much about her quotes, but it sounds a bit 'grown-up', talking about leaving someone.
