Pearl Buck

Famous quotes containing the words pearl and/or buck:

    Then must you speak
    Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
    Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought,
    Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
    Like the base Judean threw a pearl away
    Richer than all his tribe.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Chinese are wise in comprehending without many words what is inevitable and inescapable and therefore only to be borne.
    —Pearl S. Buck (1892–1973)
