More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.
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
A man without mirth is like wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it turns.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is defeat that turns bone to flint, gristle to muscle, and makes men invincible.
Henry Ward Beecher
Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.
Henry Ward Beecher
A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.
