More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
If women want any rights they had better take them, and say nothing about it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man.
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
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
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
I 'spect I growed. Don't think nobody never made me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Money is a great help everywhere - can't have too much, if you get it honestly.
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
Get your evidences of grace by pressing forward to the mark, and not by groping with a lantern after the boundary lines.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
It is no merit in the sorrowful that they weep, or to the oppressed and smothering that they gasp and struggle, not to me, that I must speak for the oppressed - who cannot speak for themselves.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
the heaviest anguish often precedes a return tide of joy and courage.
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
I make no manner of doubt that you threw a very diamond of truth at me, though you see it hit me so directly in the face that it wasn't exactly appreciated, at first.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Where painting is weakest, namely, in the expression of the highest moral and spiritual ideas, there music is sublimely strong.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean And billows wild contend with angry roar, 'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore. 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
Strange, what brings these past things so vividly back to us, sometimes!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
