More quotes by 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
When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.
Pearl S. Buck
Love alone could waken love.
Pearl S. Buck
Praise out of season, or tactlessly bestowed, can freeze the heart as much as blame.
Pearl S. Buck
My first vivid memory is...when first I looked into her face and she looked into mine. That I do remember, and that exchanging looks I have carried with me all of my life. We recognized each other. I was her child and she was my mother.
Pearl S. Buck

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
Upon the profound discontent of the young in every country do I set my faith. I beg you, the young, to be discontented. I pray that you may rebel against what is wrong, not with feeble negative complaining but with strong positive assertion of what is right for all humanity.
Pearl S. Buck
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
Pearl S. Buck
Once the 'what' is decided, the 'how' always follows. We must not make the 'how' an excuse for not facing and accepting the 'what.'
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
Growth itself contains the germ of happiness.
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
God is not in the vastness of greatness. He is hid in the vastness of smallness . He is not in the general. He is in the particular.
Pearl S. Buck
Exclusion is always dangerous. Inclusion is the only safety if we are to have a peaceful world.
Pearl S. Buck
All birth is unwilling.
