More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher
There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven, and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came.
Henry Ward Beecher
So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our heads back on the bosom of Christ, and quietly fall asleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
Coming to the Bible through commentaries is much like looking at a landscape through garret windows, over which generations of unmolested spiders have spun their webs.
Henry Ward Beecher
This world is magnificent for strangers and pilgrims, but miserable for residents.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you are idle, you are on the road to ruin and there are few stopping-places upon it. It is rather a precipice than a road
Henry Ward Beecher
What is the Bible in your house? It is not the Old Testament, it is not the New Testament, it is not the Gospel according to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke, or John it is the Gospel according to William it is the Gospel according to Mary it is the Gospel according to Henry and James it is the Gospel according to your name. You write your own Bible.
Henry Ward Beecher
We need not fear shipwreck when God is the pilot.
Henry Ward Beecher
The dog is the god of frolic.
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
Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.
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
I read for three things first, to know what the world has done the last twenty-four hours, and is about to do today second, for the knowledge that I specially want in my work and third, for what will bring my mind into a proper mood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Life is a plant that grows out of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
When God thought of mother, He must have laughed with satisfaction, and framed it quickly - so rich, so deep, so divine, so full of soul, power, and beauty, was the conception.
Henry Ward Beecher
That state of mind in which a man is impressed with invisible things is faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
The advertisements in a newspaper are more full knowledge in respect to what is going on in a state or community than the editorial columns are.
Henry Ward Beecher
Evil men of every degree will use you, flatter you, lead you on until you are useless then, if the virtuous do not pity you, or God compassionate, you are without a friend in the universe.
