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
A foreigner is a friend I have yet to meet.
Pearl S. Buck
When hope is taken away from a people, moral degeneration follows swiftly thereafter.
