More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The superfluous blossoms on a fruit tree are meant to symbolize the large way God loves to do pleasant things.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.
Henry Ward Beecher
As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
The prouder a man is, the more he thinks he deserves, and the more he thinks he deserves, the less he really does deserve.
Henry Ward Beecher
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty, how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.
Henry Ward Beecher
The disciples found angels at the grave of Him they loved and we should always find them too, but that our eyes are too full of tears for seeing.
Henry Ward Beecher
