More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Nature holds an immense uncollected debt over every man's head.
Henry Ward Beecher
Coming to the Bible through commentaries is much like looking at a landscape through garret windows, over which generations of unmolested spiders have spun their webs.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is ownership. We own whom we love. The universe is God's because He loves.
Henry Ward Beecher
There never was a liar that had not a spot in him where he could not help admiring truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
See to it that each hour's feelings, and thoughts, and actions are pure and true then will your life be such.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers . . . have a mysterious and subtle influence upon the feelings, not unlike some strains of music. They relax the tenseness of the mind. They dissolve its rigor.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be against him, is mightier than all of them.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are apt to believe in Providence so long as we have our own way but if things go awry, then we think, if there is a God, he is in heaven, and not on earth.
Henry Ward Beecher
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many yet are the secret truths of God which will be unfolded as they are needed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our earthly loves are but so many silver steps leading us up to the great golden love of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
No grief has a right to immortality. That ground belongs to joy, to hope, to faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
While a man is stringing a harp, he tries the strings, not for music, but for construction. When it is finished it shall be played for melodies. God is fashioning the human heart for future joy. He only sounds a string here and there to see how far His work has progressed.
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
The hunger of the eye is not to be despised and they are to be pitied who have starvation of the eye.
Henry Ward Beecher
Learning, to be of much use, must have a tendency to spread itself among the common people.
Henry Ward Beecher
