More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Image
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
Image
The strength of a man consists in finding out the way God is going, and going that way.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Now comes the mystery.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men think God is destroying them because he is tuning them. The violinist screws up the key till the tense cord sounds the concert pitch but it is not to break it, but to use it tunefully, that he stretches the string upon the musical rack.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Some of God's noblest sons, I think, will be selected from those that know how to take wealth, with all its temptations, and maintain godliness therewith. It is hard to be a saint standing in a golden niche.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Wealth in activity--capital with all its friction--is far safer than invested wealth lying dead.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It takes a man to make a devil.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We go to the grave of a friend saying, A man is dead, but angels throng about him saying, A man is born.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men are like trees: each one must put forth the leaf that is created in him.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Truthfulness is godliness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. It is a blessed baptism which gives the first waking thoughts into the bosom of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The beginning is the promise of the end.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Troubles loom up big when they're ahead, And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no faculty of the human soul so persistent and universal as that of hatred.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
