Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man is such a conqueror, as the one that has defeated himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
When a man says that he is perfect already, there is only one of two places for him, and that is heaven or the lunatic asylum.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Genius unexerted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant.
