More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Maple-trees are the cows of trees (spring-milked).
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not when the cable lies coiled up on the deck that you know how strong or how weak it is it is when it is put to the test.
Henry Ward Beecher
By religion I mean perfected manhood,--the quickening of the soul by the influence of the Divine Spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way.
Henry Ward Beecher
Home should be the center of joy, equatorial and tropical.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nature is a vast repository of manly enjoyments.
Henry Ward Beecher
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
A bird in a cage is not half a bird.
