Harriet Beecher Stowe
The greater the interest involved in a truth the more careful, self-distrustful, and patient should be the inquiry.I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place, because, such as it is, it is better than nothing.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Care and labor are as much correlated to human existence as shadow is to light.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
