More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A republican government in a hundred points is weaker than an autocratic government but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed — it has educated a race of men that are men.
Henry Ward Beecher
They who refuse education to a black man would turn the South into a vast poorhouse, and labor into a pendulum, necessity vibrating between poverty and indolence.
Henry Ward Beecher
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
Laws are not masters but servants, and he rules them who obey them.
Henry Ward Beecher
If a man has come to that point where he is no content that he says I do not want to know any more, or do any more or be any more, he is in a state in which he ought to be changed into a mummy.
Henry Ward Beecher
God appoints our graces to be nurses to other men's weaknesses.
Henry Ward Beecher
Reading is a dissuasion from immorality. Reading stands in the place of company.
Henry Ward Beecher
The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer--the intuitions of the soul.
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
Men must read for amusement as well as for knowledge.
Henry Ward Beecher
Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
Henry Ward Beecher
The whole of the Saviour's ministerial life, at least the part of it that stands on record, was passed in what we may call substantially a revival work.
Henry Ward Beecher
Wealth in activity--capital with all its friction--is far safer than invested wealth lying dead.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are many persons who look on Sunday as a sponge to wipe out the sins of the week
Henry Ward Beecher
I never know how to worship until I know how to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.
Henry Ward Beecher
There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven, and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came.
Henry Ward Beecher
Christians should be like a flower store: the odor of sanctity should betray them wherever they are.
