Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer--the intuitions of the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We rejoice in God since he has taught us that every thing which is true in us, is but a faint expression of what is in him. And thus all our joys become to us the echo of higher joys, and our very life is as a dream of that nobler life, to which we shall awaken when we die.

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
It is not well for a man to pray cream and live skim milk.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is a patience that cackles. There are a great many virtues that are hen-like. They are virtue, to be sure but everybody in the neighborhood has to know about them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It takes a man to make a devil and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Never be grandiloquent when you want to drive home a searching truth. Don't whip with a switch that has the leaves on, if you want it to tingle.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man knows what he will do till the right temptation comes.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The Church is not a gallery for the exhibition of eminent Christians, but a school for the education of imperfect ones.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The true secret of giving advice is, after you have honestly given it, to be perfectly indifferent whether it is taken or not, and never persist in trying to set people right.
