More quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Iowans know themselves and what they are doing. They are doing well.

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 certainly must have been a relief for women of the country to realize that one could be a woman and a lady and yet be thoroughly political.

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

Pearl S. Buck
when the people of any country choose peace at all costs, not even generals can make war.
Pearl S. Buck
To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.
Pearl S. Buck
Introversion, at least if extreme, is a sign of mental and spiritual immaturity.
Pearl S. Buck
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.
Pearl S. Buck

Pearl S. Buck
We must have hope or starve to death.
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
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.
