More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
the heart never grows old.
Pearl S. Buck
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
Pearl S. Buck
There is an alchemy in sorrow. It can be transmuted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness.
Pearl S. Buck
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
Pearl S. Buck
Love dies only when growth stops.
Pearl S. Buck
If there is no other life, then this one has been enough to make it worth being born myself...a human being.
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
starvation is a shame and disgrace to the world and totally unnecessary in modern times.
Pearl S. Buck
There is, of course, a difference between what one seizes and what one really possesses.
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.
Pearl S. Buck
doing and being are very closely tied together, and unless you are doing what you secretly want to do, you aren't able to be the sort of person you want to be.
Pearl S. Buck
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
In a democracy such as ours the leading minds seldom achieve a place of permanent influence. And the men who sit in Congress or even in the White House are usually not our leading minds. They are not the thinkers. Still less have they time for reflection.
Pearl S. Buck
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.
Pearl S. Buck
In our changing world nothing changes more than geography.
Pearl S. Buck
From that house there has come so much life that it ought never to die or fall into ruin... For me that house was a gateway to America.
Pearl S. Buck
Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors.
Pearl S. Buck
The bitterest creature under heaven is the wife who discovers that her husband's bravery is only bravado, that his strength is only a uniform, that his power is but a gun in the hands of a fool.
Pearl S. Buck
We send missionaries to China so the Chinese can get to heaven, but we won't let them into our country.
Pearl S. Buck
