More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Eyes that have never wept cannot comprehend sorrow.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
If I am to write, I must have a room to myself, which shall be my room.
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
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
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I make no manner of doubt that you threw a very diamond of truth at me, though you see it hit me so directly in the face that it wasn't exactly appreciated, at first.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Human nature is above all things lazy.
