I am comforted by life's stability, by earth's unchangeableness. What has seemed new and frightening assumes its place in the unfolding of knowledge. It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.

Pearl S. Buck
If our American way of life fails the child, it fails us all.
Pearl S. Buck
I don't wait for moods - you'd never get anything done if you did.
Pearl S. Buck
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
Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness.
Pearl S. Buck
Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
Pearl S. Buck
To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.
Pearl S. Buck
Science and religion, religion and science, put it as it may, they are the two sides of the same glass, through which we see darkly until these two focus together, reveal the truth.
Pearl S. Buck
As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world.
Pearl S. Buck
To know what one can have and to do with it, being prepared for no more, is the basis of equilibrium.
Pearl S. Buck
It is easy to overthrow a government but very difficult to build a new one.
