Harriet Beecher Stowe
A man builds a house in England with the expectation of living in it and leaving it to his children we shed our houses in America as easily as a snail does his shell.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Love is very beautiful, but very, very sad.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

Humankind above all is lazy.
