More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
We under no circumstances know the appreciate of your parent till we develop into dad and mom ourselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some folks think that Christianity means a kind of insurance policy, and that it has little to do with this life, but that it is a very good thing when a man dies.
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
Badgered, snubbed and scolded on the one hand petted, flattered and indulged on the other-it is astonishing how many children work their way up to an honest manhood in spite of parents and friends. Human nature has an element of great toughness in it.
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
A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it. The worst lies are those whose blade is false, but whose handle is true.
Henry Ward Beecher
All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good nature is often a mere matter of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is ownership. We own whom we love. The universe is God's because He loves.
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
Rain! whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains.
Henry Ward Beecher
The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself. Religion is relative to the individual.
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
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is a power in the human mind ... to see things as they are ... but there is equally a power to see things as they might be.
Henry Ward Beecher
Faith is spiritualized imagination.
Henry Ward Beecher
Spreading Christianity abroad is sometimes an excuse for not having it at home.
