More quotes by 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
Some men will not shave on Sunday, and yet they spend all the week in shaving their fellow-men and many folks think it very wicked to black their boots on Sunday morning, yet they do not hesitate to black their neighbor's reputation on week-days.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many men are mere warehouses full of merchandise--the head, the heart, are stuffed with goods. . . . There are apartments in their souls which were once tenanted by taste, and love, and joy, and worship, but they are all deserted now, and the rooms are filled with earthy and material things.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man without a vote is in this land like a man without a hand.
Henry Ward Beecher
Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.
Henry Ward Beecher
All higher motives, ideals, conceptions, sentiments in a man are of no account if they do not come forward to strengthen him for the better discharge of the duties which devolve upon him in the ordinary affairs of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
The most dangerous people are the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
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
Men must read for amusement as well as for knowledge.
Henry Ward Beecher
The dog is the god of frolic.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some folks think that Christianity means a kind of insurance policy, and that it has little to do with this life, but that it is a very good thing when a man dies.
Henry Ward Beecher
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
Henry Ward Beecher
Of all escape mechanisms, death is the most efficient.
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
I pray on the principle that wine knocks the cork out of a bottle. There is an inward fermentation, and there must be a vent.
Henry Ward Beecher
The cynic puts all human actions into two classes - openly bad and secretly bad.
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
Nothing goes far which has not the wings of love to make it buoyant, so that it can fly.
Henry Ward Beecher
