Henry Ward Beecher
You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are but you must approach each man by the right door.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Men's best successes come after their disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher
This world is not a platform where you will hear Thalberg-piano-playing. It is a piano manufactory, where are dust and shavings and boards, and saws and files and rasps and sandpapers. The perfect instrument and the music will be hereafter.
Henry Ward Beecher
The hunger of the eye is not to be despised and they are to be pitied who have starvation of the eye.
Henry Ward Beecher
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.
Henry Ward Beecher
Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
