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
True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life and homely services rendered for love's sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The same quickness which makes a mind buoyant in gladness often makes it gentlest and most sympathetic in sorrow.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Behold! thou hast one more chance! Strive for immortal glory!

Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
