Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.
Henry Ward Beecher
Of all escape mechanisms, death is the most efficient.
Henry Ward Beecher
Like the cellar-growing vine is the Christian who lives in the darkness and bondage of fear. But let him go forth, with the liberty of God, into the light of love, and he will be like the plant in the field, healthy, robust, and joyful.
Henry Ward Beecher
Man is at the bottom an animal, midway a citizen, and at the top divine. But the climate of this world is such that few ripen at the top.
Henry Ward Beecher
Go on your knees before God. Bring all your idols bring self-will, and pride, and every evil lust before Him, and give them up. Devote yourself, heart and soul, to His will and see if you do not know of the doctrine.
Henry Ward Beecher
