Learning, to be of much use, must have a tendency to spread itself among the common people.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The most miserable pettifogging in the world is that of a man in the court of his own consciences.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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.

No grief has a right to immortality. That ground belongs to joy, to hope, to faith.
Henry Ward Beecher

Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War. It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant. It means justice. It means liberty. It means happiness.... Every color means liberty. Every thread means liberty. Every star and stripe means liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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

Conceited men often seem a harmless kind of men, who, by an overweening self-respect, relieve others from the duty of respecting them at all.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Many yet are the secret truths of God which will be unfolded as they are needed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Every green thing loves to die in bright colors. The vegetable cohorts march glowing out of the year in flaming dresses, as if to leave this earth were a triumph and not a sadness. It is never nature that is sad, but only we, that dare not look back on the past, and that have not its prophecy of the future in our bosoms.
