Henry Ward Beecher
Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Boys have their soft and gentle moods too. You would suppose by the morning racket that nothing could be more foreign to their nature than romance and vague sadness. . . . But boys have hours of great sinking and sadness, when kindness and fondness are peculiarly needful to them.
Henry Ward Beecher
What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
The elect, those who will the non-elect, those who won't.
Henry Ward Beecher
Too much looking backward ... is bad for progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
