More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
People who hate trouble generally get a good deal of it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
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

Harriet Beecher Stowe
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man. Life and death to him are haunted grounds, filled with goblin forms of vague and shadowy dread.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Praise is sunshine it warms, it inspires, it promotes growth blame and rebuke are rain and hail they beat down and bedraggle, even though they may at times be necessary.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
...the heart has no tears to give,--it drops only blood, bleeding itself away in silence.
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
God has always been to me not so much like a father as like a dear and tender mother.
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
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man.
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
