Image
If any man is rich and powerful he comes under the law of God by which the higher branches must take the burnings of the sun, and shade those that are lower by which the tall trees must protect the weak plants beneath them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A gamester, as such, is the cool, calculating, essential spirit of concentrated, avaricious selfishness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.

Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. All great developments complete themselves in the world and modestly wait in silence, praising themselves never, and announcing themselves not at all. We must be sensitive, and sensible, if we would see the beginnings and endings of great things. That is our part.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Our life is but a new form of the way men have lived from the beginning.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
“I can forgive, but I cannot forget,” is only another way of saying, “I will not forgive.”
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God never made anything else so beautiful as man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
An ambition which has conscience in it will always be a laborious and faithful engineer, and will build the road, and bridge the chasms between itself and eminent success by the most faithful and minute performances of duty.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nature holds an immense uncollected debt over every man's head.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Most of the debts of Europe represent condensed drops of blood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God bless the good-natured, for they bless everybody else.

It takes a man to make a devil.
