More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
It is one of the worst effects of prosperity to make a man a vortex instead of a fountain so that, instead of throwing out, he learns only to draw in.
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
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
Expedients are for the hour, but principles are for the ages.
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
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
The continuance and frequent fits of anger produce in the soul a propensity to be angry which oftentimes ends in choler, bitterness, and moronity, when the mid becomes ulcerated, peevish, and querulous, and is wounded by the least occurrence.
Henry Ward Beecher
God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer--the intuitions of the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher
We let our blessings get mouldy, and then call them curses.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men of dissolute lives have little incentive to look forward to the hopes and glories of immortality. A due conception of these would be incompatible with such a life.
Henry Ward Beecher
God wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.
Henry Ward Beecher
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
That is the best baptism that leaves the man cleanest inside.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man has no more religion than he acts out in his life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
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
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Henry Ward Beecher
