More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Even a liar tells a hundred truths to one lie he has to, to make the lie good for anything.
Henry Ward Beecher
The elms of New England! They are as much a part of her beauty as the columns of the Parthenon were the glory of its architecture.
Henry Ward Beecher
Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.
Henry Ward Beecher
What could make me love my fellow Christian better than to see that God loves us all as we were all one soul?
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the end of art to inoculate men with the love of nature. But those who have a psssion for nature in the natural way, need no pictures nor gallereies. Spring is their designer, and the whole year their artist.
Henry Ward Beecher
A republican government in a hundred points is weaker than an autocratic government but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed — it has educated a race of men that are men.
Henry Ward Beecher
God wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
The hunger of the eye is not to be despised and they are to be pitied who have starvation of the eye.
Henry Ward Beecher
O Lord God, we pray that we may be inspired to nobleness of life in the least things. May we dignify all our daily life. May we set such a sacredness upon every part of our life, that nothing shall be trivial, nothing unimportant, and nothing dull, in the daily round.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that is afraid is never a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people are proud of their humility.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is a patience that cackles. There are a great many virtues that are hen-like. They are virtue, to be sure but everybody in the neighborhood has to know about them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the wine of existence.
Henry Ward Beecher
Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher
The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man is more cheated than the selfish man.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
