More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
They who refuse education to a black man would turn the South into a vast poorhouse, and labor into a pendulum, necessity vibrating between poverty and indolence.
Henry Ward Beecher
Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
Henry Ward Beecher
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
We go to the grave of a friend saying, A man is dead, but angels throng about him saying, A man is born.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man can look upon the simple wild-rose, and feel no pleasure, his taste has been corrupted.
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
A coat that is not used, the moths eat and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted-the moths eat him and they have poor food at that.
Henry Ward Beecher
Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!
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
Nobody ever sees truth except in fragments.
Henry Ward Beecher
We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts.
Henry Ward Beecher
A Christianity which will not help those who are struggling from the bottom to the top of society, needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
To the covetous man life is a nightmare, and God lets him wrestle with it as best he may.
Henry Ward Beecher
That state of mind in which a man is impressed with invisible things is faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
Were one to ask me in which direction I think man strongest, I should say, his capacity to hate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Like the cellar-growing vine is the Christian who lives in the darkness and bondage of fear. But let him go forth, with the liberty of God, into the light of love, and he will be like the plant in the field, healthy, robust, and joyful.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not when the cable lies coiled up on the deck that you know how strong or how weak it is it is when it is put to the test.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that is afraid is never a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Man is at the bottom an animal, midway a citizen, and at the top divine. But the climate of this world is such that few ripen at the top.
Henry Ward Beecher
