More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not in the nature of true greatness to be exclusive and arrogant.
Henry Ward Beecher
A babe is a mother's anchor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
The Bible is God's chart for you to steer by, to keep you from the bottom of the sea, and to show you where the harbor is, and how to reach it without running on rocks or bars.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding only gives them strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
This world is magnificent for strangers and pilgrims, but miserable for residents.
Henry Ward Beecher
We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
Henry Ward Beecher
The elms of New England! They are as much a part of her beauty as the columns of the Parthenon were the glory of its architecture.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that is afraid is never a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Music cleanses the understanding inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the wine of existence. When you have taken that, you have taken the most precious drop that there is in the cluster.
Henry Ward Beecher
Were one to ask me in which direction I think man strongest, I should say, his capacity to hate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some men are, in regard to ridicule, like tin-roofed buildings in regard to hail: all that hits them bounds rattling off not a stone goes through.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good nature is often a mere matter of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
The beginnings of moral enterprises in this world are never to be measured by any apparent growth. ... At length comes the sudden ripeness and the full success, and he who is called in at the final moment deems this success his own. He is but the reaper and not the labourer. Other men sowed and tilled and he but enters into their labours.
Henry Ward Beecher
When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder.
Henry Ward Beecher
Trouble teaches men how much there is in manhood.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is for men to choose whether they will govern themselves or be governed.
Henry Ward Beecher
