More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Image
The mystery of history is an insoluble problem.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If a boy is not trained to endure and to bear trouble, he will grow up a girl and a boy that is a girl has all a girl's weakness without any of her regal qualities. A woman made out of a woman is God's noblest work a woman made out of a man is His meanest.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God appoints our graces to be nurses to other men's weaknesses.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Debt rolls a man over and over, binding him hand and foot, and letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the long-legged interest devours him.

Image
All work and no plagiarism makes for dull sermons!
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Take from the Bible the Godship of Christ, and it would be but a heap of dust.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Repentance is another name for aspiration.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
A mother is as different from anything else that God ever thought of, as can possibly be. She is a distinct and individual creation.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men are not put into this world to be everlastingly played on by the harping fingers of joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nature is a vast repository of manly enjoyments.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Christianity is simply the ideal form of manhood represented to us by Jesus Christ.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It takes a man to make a devil and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No church can be prospered in which all the ministration comes from the pulpit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Blessed be the man whose work drives him. Something must drive men and if it is wholesome industry, they have no time for a thousand torments and temptations.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The strength of a man consists in finding out the way God is going, and going that way.

Love is the world's river of life
