More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
He is greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.
Henry Ward Beecher
Oftentimes great and open temptations are the most harmless because they come with banners flying and bands playing and all the munitions of war in full view, so that we know we are in the midst of enemies that mean us damage, and we get ready to meet and resist them. Our peculiar dangers are those that surprise us and work treachery in our fort.
Henry Ward Beecher
Think of a man in a chronic state of anger!
Henry Ward Beecher
Men are like trees: each one must put forth the leaf that is created in him.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is one of the worst effects of prosperity to make a man a vortex instead of a fountain so that, instead of throwing out, he learns only to draw in.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our life is but a new form of the way men have lived from the beginning.
Henry Ward Beecher
A mother's prayers, silent and gentle, can never miss the road to the throne of all bounty.
Henry Ward Beecher
Christianity is simply the ideal form of manhood represented to us by Jesus Christ.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead,--dead in trespasses and sin of blear-eyed vanity.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.
Henry Ward Beecher
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Henry Ward Beecher
Age and youth look upon life from the opposite ends of the telescope it is exceedingly long,--it is exceedingly short.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not well for a man to pray cream and live skim milk.
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
The strong are God's natural protectors of the weak.
Henry Ward Beecher
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is an ugly kind of forgiveness in this world--a kind of hedgehog forgiveness, shot out like quills.
Henry Ward Beecher
The superfluous blossoms on a fruit tree are meant to symbolize the large way God loves to do pleasant things.
Henry Ward Beecher
There was never a person who did anything worth doing that he did not receive more than he gave.
Henry Ward Beecher
