More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Every green thing loves to die in bright colors. The vegetable cohorts march glowing out of the year in flaming dresses, as if to leave this earth were a triumph and not a sadness. It is never nature that is sad, but only we, that dare not look back on the past, and that have not its prophecy of the future in our bosoms.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
A republican government in a hundred points is weaker than an autocratic government but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed — it has educated a race of men that are men.
Henry Ward Beecher
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is God's loaf and this is that feeding for which we are taught to pray, Give us this day our daily bread.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is not a person we employ who does not, like ourselves, desire recognition, praise, gentleness, forbearance, patience.
Henry Ward Beecher
To do good work a man should no doubt be industrious. To do great work he must certainly be idle a well.
Henry Ward Beecher
Education will not come of itself it will never come unless you seek it it will not come unless you take the first steps which lead to it but, taking these steps, every man can acquire it.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
