More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Many yet are the secret truths of God which will be unfolded as they are needed.
Henry Ward Beecher

Men judge of Christians by taking as fair samples those that lie rotten on the ground.
Henry Ward Beecher
Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.
Henry Ward Beecher
As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
The disciples found angels at the grave of Him they loved and we should always find them too, but that our eyes are too full of tears for seeing.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
