Pearl S. Buck
From that house there has come so much life that it ought never to die or fall into ruin... For me that house was a gateway to America.
Pearl S. Buck
There will never cease to be ferment in the world unless people are sure of their food.
Pearl S. Buck
In a democracy such as ours the leading minds seldom achieve a place of permanent influence. And the men who sit in Congress or even in the White House are usually not our leading minds. They are not the thinkers. Still less have they time for reflection.
Pearl S. Buck
If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday.
