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
Someone calls biography the home aspect of history.
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A babe is a mother's anchor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Only have enough of little virtues and common fidelities, and you need not mourn because you are neither a hero nor a saint.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love is the wine of existence. When you have taken that, you have taken the most precious drop that there is in the cluster.
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
Image
It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding only gives them strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As warmth makes even glaciers trickle, and opens streams in the ribs of frozen mountains, so the heart knows the full flow and life of its grief only when it begins to melt and pass away.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men's best successes come after their disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A very common flower adds generosity to beauty. It gives joy to the poor, to the rude, and to the multitudes who could have no flowers were nature to charge a price for her blossoms.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Books are the true metempsychosis,--they are the symbol and presage of immortality. The dead men are scattered, and none shall find them. Behold they are here! they do but sleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man without mirth is like wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it turns.
