Henry Ward Beecher

All higher motives, ideals, conceptions, sentiments in a man are of no account if they do not come forward to strengthen him for the better discharge of the duties which devolve upon him in the ordinary affairs of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
In the family, happiness is in the ratio in which each is serving the others, seeking one another's good, and bearing one another's burdens.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
