Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising.

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A mother is as different from anything else that God ever thought of, as can possibly be. She is a distinct and individual creation.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Christ is risen! There is life, therefore, after death! His resurrection is the symbol and pledge of universal resurrection!
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
A bird in a cage is not half a bird.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.
