The greatest architect and the one most needed is hope.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I read for three things first, to know what the world has done the last twenty-four hours, and is about to do today second, for the knowledge that I specially want in my work and third, for what will bring my mind into a proper mood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Were one to ask me in which direction I think man strongest, I should say, his capacity to hate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents. The soul's inarticulate moanings are the affections yearning for the Infinite, and having no one to tell them what it is that ails them.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man in the right, with God on his side, is in the majority, though he be alone, for God is multitudinous above all populations of the earth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our heads back on the bosom of Christ, and quietly fall asleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nothing dies so hard, or rallies so often as intolerance.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Heaven answers with us the same purpose that the tuning-fork does with musicians. Our affections, the whole orchestra of them, are apt to get below the concert-pitch and we take heaven to tune our hearts by.

Well-married, a man is winged: ill-matched, he is shackled.

We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
