More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Iowans know themselves and what they are doing. They are doing well.
Pearl S. Buck
There is, of course, a difference between what one seizes and what one really possesses.
Pearl S. Buck
The best government in the world, the best religion, the best traditions of any people, depend upon the good or evil of the men and women who administer them.
Pearl S. Buck
when the people of any country choose peace at all costs, not even generals can make war.
Pearl S. Buck
Never, if you can possibly help it, write a novel. It is, in the first place, a thoroughly unsocial act. It makes one obnoxious to one's family and to one's friends. One sits about for many weeks, months, even years, in the worst cases, in a state of stupefaction.
Pearl S. Buck
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
The rich are always afraid.
Pearl S. Buck
I don't wait for moods - you'd never get anything done if you did.
Pearl S. Buck
Only the brave should teach....Teaching is a vocation. It is as sacred as priesthood as innate a desire, as inescapable as the genius which compels a great artist. If he has not the concern for humanity, the love of living creatures, the vision of the priest and the artist, he must not teach.
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
It is ironical that in an age when we have prided ourselves on our progress in the intelligent care and teaching of children we have at the same time put them at the mercy of new and most terrible weapons of destruction.
Pearl S. Buck
Truth is always exciting. Speak it, then. Life is dull without it.
Pearl S. Buck
All birth is unwilling.
Pearl S. Buck
A man is educated and turned out to work. But a woman is educated and turned out to grass.
Pearl S. Buck
Be born anywhere, little embryo novelist, but do not be born under the shadow of a great creed, not under the burden of original sin, not under the doom of Salvation.
Pearl S. Buck
For no country is a true democracy whose women have not an equal share in life with men, and until we realize this we shall never achieve a real democracy on this earth.
Pearl S. Buck
All in all, Vermont is a jewel state, small but precious.
Pearl S. Buck
When hope is taken away from a people, moral degeneration follows swiftly thereafter.
Pearl S. Buck
Man was lost if he went to a usurer, for the interest ran faster than a tiger upon him.
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
