Harriet Beecher Stowe quotes about
Great as the planning were for the dinner, the lot was so contrived that not a soul in the house be supposed to be kept from the break of day ceremony of Blessing in the church.
Prayer is a long rope with a strong hold.
Sublime is the dominion of the mind over the body, that, for a time, can make flesh and nerve impregnable, and string the sinews like steel, so that the weak become so mighty!
It is always our treasure that the lightning strikes.
Rome is an astonishment!
As oil will find its way into crevices where water cannot penetrate, so song will find its way where speech can no longer enter.
