Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
Henry Ward Beecher
I don't like these cold, precise, perfect people, who, in order not to speak wrong, never speak at all, and in order not to do wrong, never do anything.
Henry Ward Beecher
Astronomers have built telescopes which can show myriads of stars unseen before but when a man looks through a tear in his own eye, that is a lens which opens reaches into the unknown, and reveals orbs which no telescope, however skilfully constructed, could do.
Henry Ward Beecher
In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no man that lives who does not need to be drilled, disciplined, and developed into something higher and nobler and better than he is by nature. Life is one prolonged birth.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
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
