Harriet Beecher Stowe
It is generally understood that men don't aspire after the absolute right, but only to do about as well as the rest of the world.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

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
Half the misery in the world comes of want of courage to speak and to hear the truth plainly and in a spirit of love.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
