More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.
Henry Ward Beecher
Be a hard master to yourself - and be lenient to everybody else.
Henry Ward Beecher
Rich men are to bear the infirmities of the poor. Wise men are to bear the mistakes of the ignorant. Strong men are to bear with the feeble. Cultured people are to bear with the rude and vulgar. If a rough and coarse man meets an ecstatically fine man, the man that is highest up is to be the servant of the man that is lowest down.
Henry Ward Beecher
Truthfulness is godliness.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Expedients are for the hour, but principles are for the ages.
Henry Ward Beecher
A woman's pity often opens the door to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
People of too much sentiment are like fountains, whose overflow keeps a disagreeable puddle about them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
Henry Ward Beecher
We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.
Henry Ward Beecher
Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher
Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that take away attritions, that remove friction, that make the courses of life smooth, and the intercourse of men gentle!
Henry Ward Beecher
Sometimes fear is wholesome and rational it is well to swing fear as a mighty battle-axe over men's heads when no other motive will move them.
Henry Ward Beecher
