Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The tidal wave of God's providence is carrying liberty throughout the globe.
Henry Ward Beecher

Men are not put into this world to be everlastingly played on by the harping fingers of joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As long as society is absolutely divided as milk is, the cream being at the top and the impoverished milk at the bottom, so long will society be unbalanced, and liable to be thrown into convulsions out of which will spring wars. A circulation throughout keeps it in health.

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man rides so high and in such good company as the man that allies himself to a truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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.

God sends experience to paint men's portraits.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Good nature is often a mere matter of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Involved sentences, crooked, circuitous, and parenthetical, no matter how musically they may be balanced, are prejudicial to a facile understanding of the truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
