More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
The longest way must have its close - the gloomiest night will wear on to a morning.
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

Harriet Beecher Stowe
We should remember in our dealings with animals that they are a sacred trust to us from our Heavenly Father. They are dumb and cannot speak for themselves.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Love is very beautiful, but very, very sad.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
I am one of the sort that lives by throwing stones at other people's glass houses, but I never mean to put up one for them to stone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
At last I have come into a dreamland.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The same quickness which makes a mind buoyant in gladness often makes it gentlest and most sympathetic in sorrow.
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
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
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
God has always been to me not so much like a father as like a dear and tender mother.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
All men are free and equal in the grave, if it comes to that.
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
Money is a great help everywhere - can't have too much, if you get it honestly.
