More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Image
You can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
There is no faculty of the human soul so persistent and universal as that of hatred.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No cradle for an emperor's child was ever prepared with so much magnificence as this world has been made for man. But it is only his cradle.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Half the spiritual difficulties that men and women suffer arise from a morbid state of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
May we be satisfied with nothing that shall not have in it something of immortality.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Most of the debts of Europe represent condensed drops of blood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher

What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.

It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war, it is excitement.
