More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
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
Many men are stored full of unused knowledge. Like loaded guns that are never fired off, or military magazines in times of peace, they are stuffed with useless ammunition.
Henry Ward Beecher
I beseech you to correct one fault - severe speech of others never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may be.
Henry Ward Beecher
Religion is using everything for God.
Henry Ward Beecher
What I spent, I had What I kept, I lost What I gave, I have.
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
Our children that die young are like those spring bulbs which have their flowers prepared beforehand, and leave nothing to do but to break ground, and blossom, and pass away. Thank God for spring flowers among men, as well as among the grasses of the field.
Henry Ward Beecher
Oftentimes great and open temptations are the most harmless because they come with banners flying and bands playing and all the munitions of war in full view, so that we know we are in the midst of enemies that mean us damage, and we get ready to meet and resist them. Our peculiar dangers are those that surprise us and work treachery in our fort.
Henry Ward Beecher
Morality is character and conduct such as is required by the circle or community in which the man's life happens to be placed. It shows how much good men require of us.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man ever learned to love God with all his heart, and his neighbour as himself, in a day.
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
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
Conceited men often seem a harmless kind of men, who, by an overweening self-respect, relieve others from the duty of respecting them at all.
Henry Ward Beecher
Boys have their soft and gentle moods too. You would suppose by the morning racket that nothing could be more foreign to their nature than romance and vague sadness. . . . But boys have hours of great sinking and sadness, when kindness and fondness are peculiarly needful to them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man can look upon the simple wild-rose, and feel no pleasure, his taste has been corrupted.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nowhere on the globe do men live so well as in America, or grumble so much.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.
Henry Ward Beecher
