Affliction comes to us all ...not to impoverish, but to enrich us, as the plough enriches the field to multiply our joy, as the seed, by planting, is multiplied a thousand-fold.

More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men can make an idol of the Bible.
Henry Ward Beecher
A coat that is not used, the moths eat and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted-the moths eat him and they have poor food at that.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
You may say, I wish to send this ball so as to kill the lion crouching yonder, ready to spring upon me. My wishes are all right, and I hope Providence will direct the ball. Providence won't. You must do it and if you do not, you are a dead man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sophistry is the fallacy of argument.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.
Henry Ward Beecher
A thoughtful mind, when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself.
Henry Ward Beecher
The most miserable pettifogging in the world is that of a man in the court of his own consciences.
Henry Ward Beecher
