More quotes by 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
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
What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
O, ye who visit the distressed, do ye know that everything your money can buy, given with a cold, averted face, is not worth one honest tear shed in real sympathy?
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
All places where women are excluded tend downward to barbarism but the moment she is introduced, there come in with her courtesy, cleanliness, sobriety, and order.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Care and labor are as much correlated to human existence as shadow is to light.

My vocation to preach on paper.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Self respect is impossible without liberty.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Death! Strange that there should be such a word, and such a thing, and we ever forget it that one should be living, warm and beautiful, full of hopes, desires and wants, one day, and the next be gone, utterly gone, and forever!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Eyes that have never wept cannot comprehend sorrow.
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
Treat 'em like dogs, and you'll have dogs' works and dogs' actions. Treat 'em like men, and you'll have men's works.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Friends are discovered rather than made there are people who are in their own nature friends, only they don't know each other but certain things, like poetry, music, and paintings are like the Freemason's sign, they reveal the initiated to each other.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Friendships are discovered rather than made.
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
'Who was your mother?' 'Never had none!' said the child, with another grin. 'Never had any mother? What do you mean? Where were you born?' 'Never was born!' 'Do you know who made you?' 'Nobody, as I knows on,' said the child, with a short laugh. . . . 'I 'spect I grow'd.'
Harriet Beecher Stowe
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I am speaking now of the highest duty we owe our friends, the noblest, the most sacred - that of keeping their own nobleness, goodness, pure and incorrupt. If we let our friend become cold and selfish and exacting without remonstrance, we are no true lover, no true friend.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
