More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.
Henry Ward Beecher
Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nature would be scarcely worth a puff of the empty wind if it were not that all Nature is but a temple, of which God is the brightness and the glory.
Henry Ward Beecher
It will not do to be saints at meeting and sinners everywhere else.
Henry Ward Beecher
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.

Henry Ward Beecher
A man ought to carry himself in the world as an orange tree would if it could walk up and down in the garden, swinging perfume from every little censer it holds up in the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
A very common flower adds generosity to beauty. It gives joy to the poor, to the rude, and to the multitudes who could have no flowers were nature to charge a price for her blossoms.
Henry Ward Beecher
Someone calls biography the home aspect of history.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some of God's noblest sons, I think, will be selected from those that know how to take wealth, with all its temptations, and maintain godliness therewith. It is hard to be a saint standing in a golden niche.
Henry Ward Beecher
Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people think black is the color of heaven, and that the more they can make their faces look like midnight, the more evidence they have of grace. But God, who made the sun and the flowers, never sent me to proclaim to you such a lie as that.
Henry Ward Beecher
Beauty may be said to be God's trademark in creation.
Henry Ward Beecher
Find out what your temptations are, and you will find out largely what you are yourself.
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.
