Harriet Beecher Stowe Quotes

I never thought my book would turn so many people against slavery.

If you were not already my dearly loved husband I should certainly fall in love with you.

Scenes of blood and cruelty are shocking to our ear and heart. What man has the nerve to do, man has not to nerve to hear.

Why don't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women?

General rules will bear hard on particular cases.

Self respect is impossible without liberty.

A woman's health is her capital.

So subtle is the atmosphere of opinion that it will make itself felt without words.

I did not write it (Uncle Tom's Cabin). God wrote it. I merely did his dictation.

Money is a great help everywhere; - can't have too much, if you get it honestly.

...it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best-regulated administration of slavery.

Any mind that is capable of real sorrow is capable of good.

People who hate trouble generally get a good deal of it.

Eyes that have never wept cannot comprehend sorrow.

The pain of discipline is short, but the glory of the fruition is eternal.

Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse!

There is more done with pens than with swords.

Friendships are discovered rather than made.

Common sense is seeing things as they are, and doing things as they ought to be.

The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today.

The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone.

The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end.

It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done.

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
