More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Genius is a steed too fiery for the plow or the cart.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
That is the best baptism that leaves the man cleanest inside.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Some folks think that Christianity means a kind of insurance policy, and that it has little to do with this life, but that it is a very good thing when a man dies.
Henry Ward Beecher
Conceited men often seem a harmless kind of men, who, by an overweening self-respect, relieve others from the duty of respecting them at all.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.
Henry Ward Beecher
Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good-humor makes all things tolerable
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true estate of power and riches is to be in himself not in his dwelling or position or external relations, but in his own essential character.
Henry Ward Beecher
A babe is a mother's anchor.
Henry Ward Beecher
The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Living is death dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens on this side orphans, on that children.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
Henry Ward Beecher
Fear secretes acids but love and trust are sweet juices.
