More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Debt rolls a man over and over, binding him hand and foot, and letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the long-legged interest devours him.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Faith is spiritualized imagination.
Henry Ward Beecher
The most dangerous people are the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Let the GRATEFUL HEART sweep through the day that it may recognize in every hour some sweet blessing.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men are like trees: each one must put forth the leaf that is created in him.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the wine of existence.
