Many yet are the secret truths of God which will be unfolded as they are needed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope or courage. Pear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.

Image
People of too much sentiment are like fountains, whose overflow keeps a disagreeable puddle about them.
Henry Ward Beecher

Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The mystery of history is an insoluble problem.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Rich men are to bear the infirmities of the poor. Wise men are to bear the mistakes of the ignorant. Strong men are to bear with the feeble. Cultured people are to bear with the rude and vulgar. If a rough and coarse man meets an ecstatically fine man, the man that is highest up is to be the servant of the man that is lowest down.
