More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
Pearl S. Buck
Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on.
Pearl S. Buck
Hunger makes a thief of any man.
Pearl S. Buck
Iowans know themselves and what they are doing. They are doing well.
Pearl S. Buck
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.
Pearl S. Buck
There will be no real content among American women unless they are made and kept more ignorant or unless they are given equal opportunity with men to use what they have been taught. And American men will not be really happy until their women are.
Pearl S. Buck
People don't care to read what they already think or what any people think - they know all that well enough. They want to know what they ought to think.
Pearl S. Buck
Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.
Pearl S. Buck

Pearl S. Buck

Pearl S. Buck
A foreigner is a friend I have yet to meet.
Pearl S. Buck
Euthanasia is a long, smooth-sounding word, and it conceals its danger as long, smooth words do, but the danger is there, nevertheless.
Pearl S. Buck
Profound as race prejudice is against the Negro American, it is not practically as far-reaching as the prejudice against women. For stripping away the sentimentality which makes Mother's Day and Best American Mother Contests, the truth is that women suffer all the effects of a minority.
Pearl S. Buck
To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.
Pearl S. Buck
Love can never be a sin. It can be only a blessing. Even if you're not loved in return -- though I can't imagine that -- to love is a proof of life -- indeed, it's the only proof, for once you can't love another human being, you're not alive.
Pearl S. Buck
All birth is unwilling.
Pearl S. Buck
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in human beings.
Pearl S. Buck
I don't wait for moods - you'd never get anything done if you did.
Pearl S. Buck
men cannot be free in a nation where women are forbidden freedom.
Pearl S. Buck
We learn as much from sorrow as from joy, as much from illness as from health, from handicap as from advantage and indeed perhaps more.
Pearl S. Buck
