More quotes by Pearl S. Buck

"Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought."
"The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."
"I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work."
"Many people lose the small joys in the hope for the big happiness."
"I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels."
