Henry Ward Beecher
We under no circumstances know the appreciate of your parent till we develop into dad and mom ourselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Involved sentences, crooked, circuitous, and parenthetical, no matter how musically they may be balanced, are prejudicial to a facile understanding of the truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sorrows, as storms, bring down the clouds close to the earth sorrows bring heaven down close and they are instruments of cleansing and purifying.
