Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Thinking is creating with God, as thinking is writing with the ready writer and worlds are only leaves turned over in the process of composition, about his throne.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
When leisure is a selfish luxury, its very activity, when it stirs, is apt to be only a kind of indolence taking exercise, that it may the better digest its selfishness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Some people are proud of their humility.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We need not fear shipwreck when God is the pilot.
