More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
If a man has come to that point where he is no content that he says I do not want to know any more, or do any more or be any more, he is in a state in which he ought to be changed into a mummy.
Henry Ward Beecher
But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is defeat that turns bone to flint, gristle to muscle, and makes men invincible.
Henry Ward Beecher
God made the human body, and it is the most exquisite and wonderful organization which has come to us from the divine hand.
Henry Ward Beecher
The prouder a man is, the more he thinks he deserves, and the more he thinks he deserves, the less he really does deserve.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
There is no such thing as white lies a lie is as black as a coalpit, and twice as foul.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man ought to carry himself in the world as an orange tree would if it could walk up and down in the garden, swinging perfume from every little censer it holds up in the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
God has made sleep to be a sponge by which to rub out fatigue. A man's roots are planted in night as in a soil.
Henry Ward Beecher
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
Music cleanses the understanding inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
Henry Ward Beecher
A little library, growing every year, is an honorable part of a man’s history. It is a man’s duty to have books.
Henry Ward Beecher
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder.
Henry Ward Beecher
Life is a plant that grows out of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
