More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.

Henry Ward Beecher
If any man is rich and powerful he comes under the law of God by which the higher branches must take the burnings of the sun, and shade those that are lower by which the tall trees must protect the weak plants beneath them.
Henry Ward Beecher
He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher
Give us that calm certainty of truth, that nearness to Thee, that conviction of the reality of the life to come, which we shall need to bear us through the troubles of this.
Henry Ward Beecher
What could make me love my fellow Christian better than to see that God loves us all as we were all one soul?
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
A babe is nothing but a bundle of possibilities.
Henry Ward Beecher
The whole of the Saviour's ministerial life, at least the part of it that stands on record, was passed in what we may call substantially a revival work.
Henry Ward Beecher
