Now, if the principle of toleration were once admitted into classical education - if it were admitted that the great object is to read and enjoy a language, and the stress of the teaching were placed on the few things absolutely essential to this result, if the tortoise were allowed time to creep, and the bird permitted to fly, and the fish to swim, towards the enchanted and divine sources of Helicon - all might in their own way arrive there, and rejoice in its flowers, its beauty, and its coolness. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Have not many of us, in the weary way of life, felt, in some hours, how far easier it were to die than to live?
The martyr, when faced even by a death of bodily anguish and horror, finds in the very terror of his doom a strong stimulant and tonic. There is a vivid excitement, a thrill and fervor, which may carry through any crisis of suffering that is the birth-hour of eternal glory and rest.
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
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Michael is a funny character, for whom I have a great deal of affection. He sat across his desk and seemed to be a bit of a blunt fellow. We began talking about the characters and he opened up about his vision. ~ Madeleine Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Madeleine Stowe
Tom opened his eyes, and looked upon his master. "Ye poor miserable critter!" he said, "there ain't no more ye can do! I forgive ye, with all my soul!" and he fainted entirely away. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
This is what I want everyone to experience at the end of my concert ...
everyone has this sense of rejoicing.
I don't want them to be blown away by what I do,
I want them to have this sense of real, real joy
from the depths of their being.
Because I think when you take them to that place,
then you open up a place where grace can come in. ~ Bobby McFerrin
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Bobby McFerrin
The introduction was meant to be all important and elegant and meaningful and "This summer marks the voyage of discovery of Livia Stowe," and instead all I'm doing is writing about the plane crashing and when they find my laptop the only message I'll have left for my loved ones and the good of humanity is "Oh, noooooo, we're all going to die! It was the turkeys!" They will know that I knew about the loose bit on the wing. And didn't tell anyone. Okay, everything's smoothing out again now. The flap is still flapping, but we've made it through the flying turkeys, and the plane has stopped bumping. The flight attendants still don't seem bothered, so I think maybe I'm not going to die today. ~ Kate Le Vann
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Kate Le Vann
Perhaps the mildest form of the system of slavery is to be seen in the State of Kentucky. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions? ~ Criss Jami
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Criss Jami
If you destroy delicacy and a sense of shame in a young girl, you deprave her very fast. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
It has always been a favorite idea of mine, that there is so much of the human in every man, that the life of any one individual, however obscure, if really and vividly perceived in all its aspirations, struggles, failures, and successes, would command the interest of all others. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
What makes saintliness in my view, as distinguished from ordinary goodness, is a certain quality of magnanimity and greatness of soul that brings life within the circle of the heroic. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
It isn't mere love and good-will that is needed in a sick-room; it needs knowledge and experience. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
When a heavy weight presses the soul to the lowest level at which endurance is possible, there is an instant and desperate effort of every physical and moral nerve to throw off the weight; and hence the heaviest anguish often precedes a return tide of joy and courage. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
The power of fictitious writing, for good as well as for evil, is a thing which ought most seriously to be reflected upon. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
If any of our refined and Christian readers object to the society into which this scene introduces them, let us beg them to begin and conquer their prejudices in time. The catching business, we beg to remind them, is rising to the dignity of a lawful and patriotic profession. If all the broad land between the Mississippi and the Pacific becomes one great market for bodies and souls, and human property retains the locomotive tendencies of this nineteenth century, the trader and catcher may yet be among our aristocracy. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Friends are discovered rather than made; there are people who are in their own nature friends, only they don't know each other; but certain things, like poetry, music, and paintings are like the Freemason's sign, they reveal the initiated to each other. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
I b'lieve in religion, and one of these days, when I've got matters tight and snug, I calculates to tend to my soul ... ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
A woman's health is her capital. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
O, with what freshness, what solemnity and beauty, is each new day born; as if to say to insensate man, Behold! thou hast one more chance! Strive for immortal glory! ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
The past, the present and the future are really one: they are today. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
It is always our treasure that the lightning strikes. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Miles Davis turned his back to the audience when he came out on stage, and he offended people. But, he wasn't there to entertain; he was all about the music. I kind of do that. ~ Bobby McFerrin
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Bobby McFerrin
Well, it is to be confessed that the cold of warm climates always has a peculiarly aggravating effect on the mind. A warm region is just like some people who get such a character for good temper, that they never can indulge themselves even in an earnest disclaimer without everybody crying out upon them, "What puts you in such a passion?" &c. So Nature, if she generally sets up for amiability during the winter months, cannot be allowed a little tiff now and then, a white frost, a cold rain-storm, without being considered a monster. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Harriet Beecher Stowe was thirty-nine when she began Uncle Tom's Cabin. She had given birth to seven children and seen one die. She wrote her book to be serialized in an abolitionist newspaper. Much of it she composed on the kitchen table in between the cooking, mending, tending to her house. ~ Sophy Burnham
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Sophy Burnham
At last I have come into a dreamland ... ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
But who, sir, makes the trader? Who is most to blame? The enlightened, cultivated, intelligent man, who supports the system of which the trader is the inevitable result, or the poor trader himself? You make the public statement that calls for his trade, that debauches and depraves him, till he feels no shame in it; and in what are you better than he? ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love's sake have in them a poetry that is immortal. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
I like a very dark house, just black. I sit there and just think. Once I'm still and quiet inside, I'll begin. It's very personal; it has to be. One song may be Bach, the next blues, a song from TV, or a nursery rhyme or jazz piece. ~ Bobby McFerrin
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Bobby McFerrin
To do common things perfectly is far better worth our endeavor than to do uncommon things respectably. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
I don't know as I am fit for anything and I have thought that I could wish to die young and let the remembrance of me and my faults perish in the grave rather than live, as I fear I do, a trouble to everyone ... Sometimes I could not sleep and have groaned and cried till midnight. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Come down here once, and use your eyes, and you will know more than we can teach you. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
The truth is the kindest thing we can give folks in the end. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
It was a feeling which he had seen before in his mother; but no chord within vibrated to it. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
I feel now that the time is come when even a woman or a child who can speak a word for freedom and humanity is bound to speak ... I hope every woman who can write will not be silent. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
I'm a thinkin' my old man won't know de boys and de baby. Lor'! she's de biggest gal, now, - good she is, too, and peart, Polly is. She's out to the house, now, watchin' de hoe-cake. I 's got jist de very pattern my old man liked so much, a bakin'. Jist sich as I gin him the mornin' he was took off. Lord bless us! how I felt, dat ar morning!" Mrs. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
He also didn't like a lock of my hair and said that he couldn't get into the moment without the hair being just right. I quietly knew that he was anxious and that the hairdo wasn't the real issue. But we all let it go and came back to the scene sometime later. ~ Madeleine Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Madeleine Stowe
So subtle is the atmosphere of opinion that it will make itself felt without words. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Dogs can bear more cold than human beings, but they do not like cold any better than we do; and when a dog has his choice, he will very gladly stretch himself on a rug before the fire for his afternoon nap. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Rome is an astonishment! ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
A day of grace is yet held out to us. Both North and South have been guilty before God; and the Christian Church has a heavy account to answer. Not by combining together, to protest injustice and cruelty, and making a common capital of sin, is this Union to be saved-but by repentance, justice and mercy; for, not surer is the eternal law by which the millstone sinks in the ocean, than that stronger law, by which injustice and cruelty shall bring on nations the wrath of Almighty God. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Every individual," wrote another enormously perceptive portrayer of ordinary life, Harriet Beecher Stowe, "is part and parcel of a great picture of the society in which he lives and acts, and his life cannot be painted without reproducing the picture of the world he lived in. ~ Jack Larkin
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Jack Larkin
In the midst of life we are in death,' said Miss Ophelia. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Heavy gold watch-chain, with a bundle of seals of portentous size, and a great variety of colors, attached to it, - which, in the ardor of conversation, he was in the habit of flourishing and jingling with evident satisfaction. His conversation was in free and easy defiance of ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
«It's true, Christian-like or not; and is about as Christian-like as most other things in the world,» said Alfred. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
W Mcferrin Stowe quotes by Harriet Beecher Stowe
Obeying God never brings on public evils. I know it can't. It's always safest, all round, to do as He bids us. ~ Harriet Beecher Stowe
