More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.
Henry Ward Beecher
I never know how to worship until I know how to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many yet are the secret truths of God which will be unfolded as they are needed.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead,--dead in trespasses and sin of blear-eyed vanity.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding only gives them strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.
Henry Ward Beecher
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is an ugly kind of forgiveness in this world--a kind of hedgehog forgiveness, shot out like quills.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
God made every man to have power to be mightier than the events round about him to hold by his firm will the reigns by which all things are guided.
Henry Ward Beecher
Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!
Henry Ward Beecher
A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man knows what he will do till the right temptation comes.
Henry Ward Beecher
No emotion, any more than a wave, can long retain its own individual form.
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
God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.
Henry Ward Beecher
The most dangerous people are the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is not a single heart but has its moments of longing.
Henry Ward Beecher
Of all formal things in the world, a clipped hedge is the most formal and of all the informal things in the world, a forest tree is the most informal.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man can look upon the simple wild-rose, and feel no pleasure, his taste has been corrupted.
