More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
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
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope or courage. Pear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.
Henry Ward Beecher
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
Troubles loom up big when they're ahead, And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.
Henry Ward Beecher
In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.
Henry Ward Beecher
We under no circumstances know the appreciate of your parent till we develop into dad and mom ourselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
To the covetous man life is a nightmare, and God lets him wrestle with it as best he may.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
It takes a man to make a devil.
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
Joy is more divine than sorrow, for joy is bread and sorrow is medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
While a man is stringing a harp, he tries the strings, not for music, but for construction. When it is finished it shall be played for melodies. God is fashioning the human heart for future joy. He only sounds a string here and there to see how far His work has progressed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man is such a conqueror, as the one that has defeated himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are more quarrels smothered by just shutting your mouth, and holding it shut, than by all the wisdom in the world.
Henry Ward Beecher
Repentance is another name for aspiration.
