More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
A man without ambition is worse than dough that has no yeast in it to raise it.
Henry Ward Beecher
A mother's prayers, silent and gentle, can never miss the road to the throne of all bounty.
Henry Ward Beecher
What place is so rugged and so homely that there is no beauty if you only have a sensibility to beauty?
Henry Ward Beecher
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good-humor makes all things tolerable
