More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a mentor, a teacher, a guidepost, a counsellor.
Henry Ward Beecher
The strength of a man consists in finding out the way God is going, and going that way.
Henry Ward Beecher
The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
You can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
No church can be prospered in which all the ministration comes from the pulpit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Downright admonition, as a rule, is too blunt for the recipient.
Henry Ward Beecher
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man without a vote is in this land like a man without a hand.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people are so dry that you might soak them in a joke for a month and it would not get through their skins.
Henry Ward Beecher
Self-denial does not belong to religion as characteristic of it it belongs to human life the lower nature must always be denied when you are trying to rise to a higher sphere.
Henry Ward Beecher
They who refuse education to a black man would turn the South into a vast poorhouse, and labor into a pendulum, necessity vibrating between poverty and indolence.
