Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean And billows wild contend with angry roar, 'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore. Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth And silver waves chime ever peacefully, And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flyeth Disturbs the Sabbath of that deeper sea.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Let us never doubt everything that ought to happen is going to happen.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first. Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
There are two classes of human beings in this world: one class seem made to give love, and the other to take it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without a remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.

There are in this world blessed souls, whose sorrows all spring up into joys for others whose earthly hopes, laid in the grave with many tears, are the seed from which spring healing flowers and balm for the desolate and the distressed.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
