We rejoice in God since he has taught us that every thing which is true in us, is but a faint expression of what is in him. And thus all our joys become to us the echo of higher joys, and our very life is as a dream of that nobler life, to which we shall awaken when we die.

Henry Ward Beecher

We must be sensitive, and sensible, if we would see the beginnings and endings of great things. That is our part.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man is more cheated than the selfish man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Laws are not masters but servants, and he rules them who obey them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
