The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
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
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
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
Cause I's wicked, - I is. I's mighty wicked, anyhow, I can't help it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
