More quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
The obstinacy of cleverness and reason is nothing to the obstinacy of folly and inanity.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Money is a great help everywhere - can't have too much, if you get it honestly.
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
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
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

Harriet Beecher Stowe
Friendships are discovered rather than made.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.
Harriet Beecher Stowe

Harriet Beecher Stowe
O, what an untold world there is in one human heart!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse!
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Let my soul calm itself, O Christ, in Thee. This is true.
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
I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Of course, in a novel, people's hearts break, and they die and that is the end of it and in a story this is very convenient. But in real life we do not die when all that makes life bright dies to us.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
Whipping and abuse are like laudanum: you have to double the dose as the sensibilities decline.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
When you get into a tight place, and everything goes against you till it seems as if you could n't hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that 's just the place and time that the tide'll turn.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.
