Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Do not be afraid because the, community teems with excitement. Silence and death are dreadful. The rush of life, the vigor of earnest men, the conflict of realities, invigorate, cleanse, and establish the truth.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Find out what your temptations are, and you will find out largely what you are yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Like the cellar-growing vine is the Christian who lives in the darkness and bondage of fear. But let him go forth, with the liberty of God, into the light of love, and he will be like the plant in the field, healthy, robust, and joyful.
Henry Ward Beecher
God's men are better than the devil's men, and they ought to act as though they thought they were.
Henry Ward Beecher
