Harriet Beecher Stowe

“A woman's health is her capital.”

“I did not write it. God wrote it. I merely did his dictation.”

“When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.”

“So much has been said and sung of beautiful young girls, why doesn't somebody wake up to the beauty of old women.”

“To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.”

“I would not attack the faith of a heathen without being sure I had a better one to put in its place.”

“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.”
