Harriet Beecher Stowe
the Lord gives good many things twice over but he don't give ye a mother but once.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Behold! thou hast one more chance! Strive for immortal glory!

Harriet Beecher Stowe
The human heart yearns for the beautiful in all ranks of life. The beautiful things that God makes are His gift to all alike. I know there are many of the poor who have fine feeling and a keen sense of the beautiful, which rusts out and dies because they are too hard pressed to procure it any gratification.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
God has always been to me not so much like a father as like a dear and tender mother.
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
All men are free and equal in the grave, if it comes to that.
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
The greater the interest involved in a truth the more careful, self-distrustful, and patient should be the inquiry.
