Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Truthfulness is godliness.
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
There is a patience that cackles. There are a great many virtues that are hen-like. They are virtue, to be sure but everybody in the neighborhood has to know about them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Books are the true metempsychosis,--they are the symbol and presage of immortality. The dead men are scattered, and none shall find them. Behold they are here! they do but sleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
The tidal wave of God's providence is carrying liberty throughout the globe.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
God makes the life fertile by disappointments, as he makes the ground fertile by frosts.
Henry Ward Beecher
A very common flower adds generosity to beauty. It gives joy to the poor, to the rude, and to the multitudes who could have no flowers were nature to charge a price for her blossoms.
Henry Ward Beecher
No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Like waves, our feelings may continue by repeating themselves, by intermittent rushes but no emotion any more than a wave can long retain its own individual form.
Henry Ward Beecher
Coming to the Bible through commentaries is much like looking at a landscape through garret windows, over which generations of unmolested spiders have spun their webs.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men are not put into this world to be everlastingly played on by the harping fingers of joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
See to it that each hour's feelings, and thoughts, and actions are pure and true then will your life be such.
Henry Ward Beecher
All higher motives, ideals, conceptions, sentiments in a man are of no account if they do not come forward to strengthen him for the better discharge of the duties which devolve upon him in the ordinary affairs of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Henry Ward Beecher
Astronomers have built telescopes which can show myriads of stars unseen before but when a man looks through a tear in his own eye, that is a lens which opens reaches into the unknown, and reveals orbs which no telescope, however skilfully constructed, could do.
Henry Ward Beecher
Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law
Henry Ward Beecher
Pushing any truth out very far, you are met by a counter-truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
