Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Care and labor are as much correlated to human existence as shadow is to light.
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
Money is a great help everywhere - can't have too much, if you get it honestly.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Come down here once, and use your eyes, and you will know more than we can teach you.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
If you were not already my dearly loved husband I should certainly fall in love with you.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
What a fool is he who locks his door to keep out spirits, who has in his own bosom a spirit he dares not meet alone whose voice, smothered far down, and piled over with mountains of earthliness, is yet like the forewarning trumpet of doom!
