A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image

Are they dead that yet speak louder than we can speak, and a more universal language? Are they dead that yet act? Are they dead that yet move upon society and inspire the people with nobler motives and more heroic patriotism?
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. By these tendrils we clasp it and climb thitherward. And why do we think that we are separated from them? We never half knew them, nor in this world could.

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man without ambition is worse than dough that has no yeast in it to raise it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Were one to ask me in which direction I think man strongest, I should say, his capacity to hate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men think God is destroying them because he is tuning them. The violinist screws up the key till the tense cord sounds the concert pitch but it is not to break it, but to use it tunefully, that he stretches the string upon the musical rack.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings, and strictly honest who complained of bad luck.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is nothing which vanity does not desecrate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Everyone has conscience enough to hate few have religion enough to love.
