There must, he says, be a lower class, given up to physical toil and confined to an animal nature; and a higher one thereby acquires leisure and wealth for a more expanded intelligence and improvement, and becomes the directing soul of the lower. So he reasons, because, as I said, he is born an aristocrat; – so I don’t believe, because I was born a democrat.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “My country!” said George, with a strong and bitter emphasis; “what country have I, but the grave, – and I wish to God that I was laid there!”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “But to live, – to wear on, day after day, of mean, bitter, low, harassing servitude, every nerve dampened and depressed, every power of feeling gradually smothered, – this long and wasting heart-martyrdom, this slow, daily bleeding away of the inward life, drop by drop, hour after hour, – this is the true searching test of what there may be in man or woman.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “In the old times, women did not get their lives written, though I don’t doubt many of them were much better worth writing than the men’s.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “What a sublime conception is that of a last judgment!” said he, – “a righting of all the wrongs of ages! – a solving of all moral problems, by an unanswerable wisdom! It is, indeed, a wonderful image.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “No, no, no!” said Tom, holding her small hands, which were clenched with spasmodic violence. “No, ye poor, lost soul, that ye mustn’t do. The dear, blessed Lord never shed no blood but his own, and that he poured out for us when we was enemies. Lord, help us.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “He had been able to repress every disrespectful word; but the flashing eye, the gloomy and troubled brow, were part of a natural language that could not be repressed, – indubitable signs, which showed too plainly that the man could not become a thing.”

O, Christ! thy church sees them, almost in silence!”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “If it were your Harry, mother, or your Willie, that were going to be torn from you by a brutal trader, tomorrow morning, – if you had seen the man, and heard that the papers were signed and delivered, and you had only from twelve o’clock till morning to make good your escape, – how fast could you walk? How many miles could you make in those few brief hours, with the darling at your bosom, – the little sleepy head on your shoulder, – the small, soft arms trustingly holding on to your neck?”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “Still waters run deepest, they used to tell me.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “Ah, brave, manly heart, – smothering thine own sorrow, to comfort thy beloved ones!”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “It is the statement of missionaries, that, of all races of the earth, none have received the Gospel with such eager docility as the African. The principle of reliance and unquestioning faith, which is its foundation, is more a native element in this race than any other; and it has often been found among them, that a stray seed of truth, borne on some breeze of accident into hearts the most ignorant, has sprung up into fruit, whose abundance has shamed that of higher and more skilful culture.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “Tom drew near, and tried to say something; but she only groaned.

Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “To him, it is the right of a man to be a man, and not a brute; the right to call the wife of his bosom his wife, and to protect her from lawless violence; the right to protect and educate his child; the right to have a home of his own, a religion of his own, a character of his own, unsubject to the will of another.”
Harriet Beecher Stowe Quote: “Now,” said the young man, stooping gravely over his book of bills, “if you can assure me that I really can buy this kind of pious, and that it will be set down to my account in the book up above, as something belonging to me, I wouldn’t care if I did go a little extra for it.
