Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism?

More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A man has no more religion than he acts out in his life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the river of life in this world.
Henry Ward Beecher
Next to the pastoral came the agricultural life. When you add to that the manufacturing phase of development, society begins to fill out, and needs but wings to fly, and commerce is its wings.
Henry Ward Beecher
The beginning is the promise of the end.
Henry Ward Beecher
The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man has a right to picture God according to his need, whatever it be.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nowhere else can one find so miscellaneous, so various, an amount of knowledge as is contained in a good newspaper.
Henry Ward Beecher
Age and youth look upon life from the opposite ends of the telescope it is exceedingly long,--it is exceedingly short.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile some have a sad expression some are pensive and diffident others are plain, honest and upright, like the broad faced sunflower and the hollyhock.
Henry Ward Beecher
Temptations are enemies outside the castle seeking entrance. If there be no false retainer within who holds treacherous parley, there can scarcely be even an offer.
Henry Ward Beecher
Poverty is very good in poems but very bad in the house very good in maxims and sermons but very bad in practical life.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
That energy which makes a child hard to manage is the energy which afterwards makes him a manager of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Today is a goblet day. The whole heavens have been mingled with exquisite skill to a delicious flavor, and the crystal cup put to every lip. Breathing is like ethereal drinking. It is a luxury simply to exist.
Henry Ward Beecher
Perverted pride is a great misfortune in men but pride in its original function, for which God created it, is indispensable to a proper manhood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Find out what your temptations are, and you will find out largely what you are yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Unfruitful emotion is to be suspected. Feeling acts as an impulse, as a spur, as a spring, and when feelings are excited, and they put nothing forward, they are sometimes even dangerous to a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
The worst prison is not of stone. It is of a throbbing heart, outraged by an infamous life.
Henry Ward Beecher
