More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
No grief has a right to immortality. That ground belongs to joy, to hope, to faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
Like the cellar-growing vine is the Christian who lives in the darkness and bondage of fear. But let him go forth, with the liberty of God, into the light of love, and he will be like the plant in the field, healthy, robust, and joyful.
Henry Ward Beecher

The things that hurt us teach us.
Henry Ward Beecher
Rich men are to bear the infirmities of the poor. Wise men are to bear the mistakes of the ignorant. Strong men are to bear with the feeble. Cultured people are to bear with the rude and vulgar. If a rough and coarse man meets an ecstatically fine man, the man that is highest up is to be the servant of the man that is lowest down.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
All our other faculties seem to have the brown touch of earth upon them, but the imagination carries the very livery of heaven, and is God's self in the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men of dissolute lives have little incentive to look forward to the hopes and glories of immortality. A due conception of these would be incompatible with such a life.
Henry Ward Beecher
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes a man to make a devil.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true estate of power and riches is to be in himself not in his dwelling or position or external relations, but in his own essential character.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's character is the reality of himself his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him character resides in him, reputation in other people that is the substance, this is the shadow.
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
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our life is in the loom it rolls up and is hidden as fast as it is woven. It is to be taken out of the loom only when we leave this world then only shall we see the pattern.
Henry Ward Beecher
Trouble teaches men how much there is in manhood.
