More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. By these tendrils we clasp it and climb thitherward. And why do we think that we are separated from them? We never half knew them, nor in this world could.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some men are, in regard to ridicule, like tin-roofed buildings in regard to hail: all that hits them bounds rattling off not a stone goes through.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.
Henry Ward Beecher
It will not do to be saints at meeting and sinners everywhere else.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our earthly loves are but so many silver steps leading us up to the great golden love of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sometimes fear is wholesome and rational it is well to swing fear as a mighty battle-axe over men's heads when no other motive will move them.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law
Henry Ward Beecher
You have seen a ship out on the bay, swinging with the tide, and seeming as if it would follow it and yet it cannot, for down beneath the water it is anchored. So many a soul sways toward heaven, but cannot ascend thither, because it is anchored to some secret sin.
Henry Ward Beecher
Faith is spiritualized imagination.
Henry Ward Beecher
This world is magnificent for strangers and pilgrims, but miserable for residents.
Henry Ward Beecher
He that does not know how wisely to meddle with public affairs in preaching the gospel, does not know how to preach the gospel.
Henry Ward Beecher
May we be satisfied with nothing that shall not have in it something of immortality.
Henry Ward Beecher
Maple-trees are the cows of trees (spring-milked).
Henry Ward Beecher
True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our children that die young are like those spring bulbs which have their flowers prepared beforehand, and leave nothing to do but to break ground, and blossom, and pass away. Thank God for spring flowers among men, as well as among the grasses of the field.
