More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.
Henry Ward Beecher
A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the world's river of life
Henry Ward Beecher
Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution.
Henry Ward Beecher
The most dangerous people are the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
Henry Ward Beecher
Unfruitful emotion is to be suspected. Feeling acts as an impulse, as a spur, as a spring, and when feelings are excited, and they put nothing forward, they are sometimes even dangerous to a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. All great developments complete themselves in the world and modestly wait in silence, praising themselves never, and announcing themselves not at all. We must be sensitive, and sensible, if we would see the beginnings and endings of great things. That is our part.
Henry Ward Beecher
The continuance and frequent fits of anger produce in the soul a propensity to be angry which oftentimes ends in choler, bitterness, and moronity, when the mid becomes ulcerated, peevish, and querulous, and is wounded by the least occurrence.
Henry Ward Beecher
We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no right more universal and more sacred, because lying so near the root of existence, than the right of men to their own labor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men judge of Christians by taking as fair samples those that lie rotten on the ground.
Henry Ward Beecher
Liberty is the soul's right to breathe and, when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdled too tight.
Henry Ward Beecher
When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder.
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
Perverted pride is a great misfortune in men but pride in its original function, for which God created it, is indispensable to a proper manhood.
Henry Ward Beecher
The cynic puts all human actions into two classes - openly bad and secretly bad.
Henry Ward Beecher
A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it. The worst lies are those whose blade is false, but whose handle is true.
Henry Ward Beecher
Only have enough of little virtues and common fidelities, and you need not mourn because you are neither a hero nor a saint.
Henry Ward Beecher
