More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Fanaticism is governed by imagination rather than judgment.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Everyone confesses in the abstract that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us all but practically most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
For, so inconsistent is human nature, especially in the ideal, that not to undertake a thing at all seems better than to undertake and come short.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I never thought my book would turn so many people against slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Gems, in fact, are a species of mineral flowers they are the blossoms of the dark, hard mine and what they want in perfume, they make up in durability.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Home is a place not only of strong affections, but of entire unreserve it is life's undress rehearsal, its backroom, its dressing room.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The greater the interest involved in a truth the more careful, self-distrustful, and patient should be the inquiry.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The longest day must have its close — the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning. An eternal, inexorable lapse of moments is ever hurrying the day of the evil to an eternal night, and the night of the just to an eternal day.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Can anybody tell what sorrows are locked up with our best affections, or what pain may be associated with every pleasure?
Harriet Beecher Stowe
he who has nothing to lose can afford all risks.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Nobody had ever instructed him that a slave-ship, with a procession of expectant sharks in its wake, is a missionary institution, by which closely-packed heathen are brought over to enjoy the light of the Gospel.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
There are in this world blessed souls, whose sorrows all spring up into joys for others whose earthly hopes, laid in the grave with many tears, are the seed from which spring healing flowers and balm for the desolate and the distressed.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Behold! thou hast one more chance! Strive for immortal glory!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
God washes the eyes by tears unil they can behold the invisible land where tears shall come no more.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
the Lord gives good many things twice over but he don't give ye a mother but once.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
the heaviest anguish often precedes a return tide of joy and courage.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Praise is sunshine it warms, it inspires, it promotes growth blame and rebuke are rain and hail they beat down and bedraggle, even though they may at times be necessary.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
O, what an untold world there is in one human heart!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
