More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty, how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.
Henry Ward Beecher
Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is not a single heart but has its moments of longing.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing can compare in beauty, and wonder, and admirableness, and divinity itself, to the silent work in obscure dwellings of faithful women bringing their children to honor and virtue and piety.
Henry Ward Beecher
The worst prison is not of stone. It is of a throbbing heart, outraged by an infamous life.
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
No emotion, any more than a wave, can long retain its own individual form.
Henry Ward Beecher
Learning, to be of much use, must have a tendency to spread itself among the common people.
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
Astronomers have built telescopes which can show myriads of stars unseen before but when a man looks through a tear in his own eye, that is a lens which opens reaches into the unknown, and reveals orbs which no telescope, however skilfully constructed, could do.
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
As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is ownership. We own whom we love. The universe is God's because He loves.
Henry Ward Beecher
“I can forgive, but I cannot forget,” is only another way of saying, “I will not forgive.”
Henry Ward Beecher
A law is valuable not because it is law, but because there is right in it.
Henry Ward Beecher
If there's a job to be done, I always ask the busiest man in my parish to take it on and it gets done.
Henry Ward Beecher
Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no faculty of the human soul so persistent and universal as that of hatred.
Henry Ward Beecher
