More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
At last I have come into a dreamland.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Death! Strange that there should be such a word, and such a thing, and we ever forget it that one should be living, warm and beautiful, full of hopes, desires and wants, one day, and the next be gone, utterly gone, and forever!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
I never thought my book would turn so many people against slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
...it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best regulated administration of slavery.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
It has always been a favorite idea of mine, that there is so much of the human in every man, that the life of any one individual, however obscure, if really and vividly perceived in all its aspirations, struggles, failures, and successes, would command the interest of all others.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
As oil will find its way into crevices where water cannot penetrate, so song will find its way where speech can no longer enter.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
People will accept your ideas much more readily if you tell them that Benjamin Franklin said it first. Perhaps it is impossible for a person who does no good to do no harm.
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
Care and labor are as much correlated to human existence as shadow is to light.
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
Let us never doubt everything that ought to happen is going to happen.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
There are two classes of human beings in this world: one class seem made to give love, and the other to take it.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The number of those men who know how to use wholly irresponsible power humanely and generously is small. Everybody knows this, and the slave knows it best of all.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Sublime is the dominion of the mind over the body, that, for a time, can make flesh and nerve impregnable, and string the sinews like steel, so that the weak become so mighty!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
...the heart has no tears to give,--it drops only blood, bleeding itself away in silence.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Your little child is the only true democrat.
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
Half the misery in the world comes of want of courage to speak and to hear the truth plainly and in a spirit of love.
