Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they are going to catch you in next.
Henry Ward Beecher
It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nature is a vast repository of manly enjoyments.
Henry Ward Beecher
A house built on sand is, in fair weather, just as good as if builded on a rock. A cobweb is as good as the mightiest chain cable when there is no strain on it. It is trial that proves one thing weak and another strong.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
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
That energy which makes a child hard to manage is the energy which afterwards makes him a manager of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our life is in the loom it rolls up and is hidden as fast as it is woven. It is to be taken out of the loom only when we leave this world then only shall we see the pattern.
Henry Ward Beecher
Someone calls biography the home aspect of history.
Henry Ward Beecher
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
When leisure is a selfish luxury, its very activity, when it stirs, is apt to be only a kind of indolence taking exercise, that it may the better digest its selfishness.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not work that kills men it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war, it is excitement.
Henry Ward Beecher
The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.
Henry Ward Beecher
Education will not come of itself it will never come unless you seek it it will not come unless you take the first steps which lead to it but, taking these steps, every man can acquire it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
