Let my soul calm itself, O Christ, in Thee. This is true.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
If you destroy delicacy and a sense of shame in a young girl, you deprave her very fast.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
As oil will find its way into crevices where water cannot penetrate, so song will find its way where speech can no longer enter.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Get your evidences of grace by pressing forward to the mark, and not by groping with a lantern after the boundary lines.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
I am one of the sort that lives by throwing stones at other people's glass houses, but I never mean to put up one for them to stone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
it isn't mere love and good-will that is needed in a sick-room it needs knowledge and experience.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
There is a great life-giving, warming power called Love, which exists in human hearts dumb and unseen, but which has no real life, no warming power, till set free by expression.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life and homely services rendered for love's sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
One part of the science of living is to learn just what our own responsibility is, and to let other people's alone.
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
...it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best regulated administration of slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
