It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.
Pearl S. Buck
Image
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.

Image
Man was lost if he went to a usurer, for the interest ran faster than a tiger upon him.
Pearl S. Buck
Image
Let woman out of the home, let man into it, should be the aim of education. The home needs man, and the world outside needs woman.

Image
Men of action, whose minds are too busy with the day's work to see beyond it. They are essential men, we cannot do without them, and yet we must not allow all our vision to be bound by the limitations of men of action.
Pearl S. Buck
Image
We should so provide for old age that it may have no urgent wants of this world to absorb it from meditation on the next. It is awful to see the lean hands of dotage making a coffer of the grave.
