More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The tree is but a huge boquet.
Henry Ward Beecher
What is the Bible in your house? It is not the Old Testament, it is not the New Testament, it is not the Gospel according to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke, or John it is the Gospel according to William it is the Gospel according to Mary it is the Gospel according to Henry and James it is the Gospel according to your name. You write your own Bible.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Religion, in one sense, is a life of self-denial, just as husbandry, in one sense, is a work of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Henry Ward Beecher
Defeat is a school in which truth always grows strong.
Henry Ward Beecher
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
