Henry Ward Beecher
Take from the Bible the Godship of Christ, and it would be but a heap of dust.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is a very good world for the purposes for which it was built and that is all anything is good for.
Henry Ward Beecher
A dull axe never loves grindstones, but a keen workman does and he puts his tool on them in order that it may be sharp. And men do not like grinding but they are dull for the purposes which God designs to work out with them, and therefore He is grinding them.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.
Henry Ward Beecher
I don't like these cold, precise, perfect people, who, in order not to speak wrong, never speak at all, and in order not to do wrong, never do anything.
Henry Ward Beecher
There was never a person who did anything worth doing that he did not receive more than he gave.
Henry Ward Beecher
To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.
Henry Ward Beecher
Maple-trees are the cows of trees (spring-milked).
Henry Ward Beecher
Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
Henry Ward Beecher
