Pearl S. Buck

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
All birth is unwilling.
Pearl S. Buck
Once the 'what' is decided, the 'how' always follows. We must not make the 'how' an excuse for not facing and accepting the 'what.'
Pearl S. Buck
Now, five years is nothing in a man's life except when he is very young and very old... - Wang Lung
Pearl S. Buck
Perhaps one has to be very old before one learns to be amused rather than shocked.
Pearl S. Buck
you seem to grieve for what is not so ... and there is no need to let your heart run ahead into evils that may never come.
Pearl S. Buck
