More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Gems, in fact, are a species of mineral flowers they are the blossoms of the dark, hard mine and what they want in perfume, they make up in durability.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
If women want any rights they had better take them, and say nothing about it.
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
Scenes of blood and cruelty are shocking to our ear and heart. What man has nerve to do, man has not nerve to hear.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
In the old times, women did not get their lives written, though I don't doubt many of them were much better worth writing than the men's.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Fanaticism is governed by imagination rather than judgment.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred - that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Witness, eternal God! Oh, witness that, from this hour, I will do what one man can to drive out this curse of slavery from my land!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
O, because I have had only that kind of benevolence which consists in lying on a sofa, and cursing the church and clergy for not being martyrs and confessors. One can see, you know, very easily, how others ought to be martyrs.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
A woman's health is her capital.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Treat 'em like dogs, and you'll have dogs' works and dogs' actions. Treat 'em like men, and you'll have men's works.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
My vocation to preach on paper.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
God washes the eyes by tears unil they can behold the invisible land where tears shall come no more.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Nobody had ever instructed him that a slave-ship, with a procession of expectant sharks in its wake, is a missionary institution, by which closely-packed heathen are brought over to enjoy the light of the Gospel.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
It has always been a favorite idea of mine, that there is so much of the human in every man, that the life of any one individual, however obscure, if really and vividly perceived in all its aspirations, struggles, failures, and successes, would command the interest of all others.
