More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe

I b'lieve in religion, and one of these days, when I've got matters tight and snug, I calculates to tend to my soul.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
No ornament of a house can compare with books they are constant company in a room, even when you are not reading them.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man. Life and death to him are haunted grounds, filled with goblin forms of vague and shadowy dread.

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.
