More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Life is full of amusement to an amusing man.
Henry Ward Beecher
If there's a job to be done, I always ask the busiest man in my parish to take it on and it gets done.
Henry Ward Beecher
The tree is but a huge boquet.
Henry Ward Beecher
Repentance is the turning of the soul from the way of midnight to the point of the coming sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
If a man has come to that point where he is no content that he says I do not want to know any more, or do any more or be any more, he is in a state in which he ought to be changed into a mummy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Maple-trees are the cows of trees (spring-milked).
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no harder shield for the devil to pierce with temptation than singing with prayer.
Henry Ward Beecher
Perverted pride is a great misfortune in men but pride in its original function, for which God created it, is indispensable to a proper manhood.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding only gives them strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself. Religion is relative to the individual.
Henry Ward Beecher
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
Education will not come of itself it will never come unless you seek it it will not come unless you take the first steps which lead to it but, taking these steps, every man can acquire it.
Henry Ward Beecher
When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder.
Henry Ward Beecher
That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all.
Henry Ward Beecher
A babe is nothing but a bundle of possibilities.
Henry Ward Beecher
True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.
Henry Ward Beecher
A bird in a cage is not half a bird.
Henry Ward Beecher
You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are but you must approach each man by the right door.
Henry Ward Beecher
Unfruitful emotion is to be suspected. Feeling acts as an impulse, as a spur, as a spring, and when feelings are excited, and they put nothing forward, they are sometimes even dangerous to a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
