Henry Ward Beecher
The most dangerous people are the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

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

Henry Ward Beecher
Our life is but a new form of the way men have lived from the beginning.
Henry Ward Beecher
People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.
Henry Ward Beecher
A boy is a piece of existence quite separate from all things else, and deserves separate chapters in the natural history of men.
Henry Ward Beecher
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. It is a blessed baptism which gives the first waking thoughts into the bosom of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no greater crime than to stand between a man and his development to take any law or institution and put it around him like a collar, and fasten it there, so that as he grows and enlarges, he presses against it till he suffocates and dies.
Henry Ward Beecher
Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that take away attritions, that remove friction, that make the courses of life smooth, and the intercourse of men gentle!
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.
Henry Ward Beecher
We need not fear shipwreck when God is the pilot.
Henry Ward Beecher
