Harriet Beecher Stowe

“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.”

“A woman's health is her capital.”

“Human nature is above all things lazy.”

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

“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.”

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

“All places where women are excluded tend downward to barbarism but the moment she is introduced, there come in with her courtesy, cleanliness, sobriety, and order.”
