More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
I beseech you to correct one fault - severe speech of others never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may be.
Henry Ward Beecher
If a boy is not trained to endure and to bear trouble, he will grow up a girl and a boy that is a girl has all a girl's weakness without any of her regal qualities. A woman made out of a woman is God's noblest work a woman made out of a man is His meanest.
Henry Ward Beecher
You may say, I wish to send this ball so as to kill the lion crouching yonder, ready to spring upon me. My wishes are all right, and I hope Providence will direct the ball. Providence won't. You must do it and if you do not, you are a dead man.
Henry Ward Beecher
The great lever by which to raise and save the world is the unbounded love and mercy of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
If any man is rich and powerful he comes under the law of God by which the higher branches must take the burnings of the sun, and shade those that are lower by which the tall trees must protect the weak plants beneath them.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Henry Ward Beecher
Evil men of every degree will use you, flatter you, lead you on until you are useless then, if the virtuous do not pity you, or God compassionate, you are without a friend in the universe.
Henry Ward Beecher
An ambition which has conscience in it will always be a laborious and faithful engineer, and will build the road, and bridge the chasms between itself and eminent success by the most faithful and minute performances of duty.
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
If men had wings and bore black feathers, Few of them would be clever enough to be crows.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men strengthen each other in their faults. Those who are alike associate together, repeat the things which all believe, defend and stimulate their common faults of disposition, and each one receives from the others a reflection of his own egotism.
Henry Ward Beecher
Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.
Henry Ward Beecher
Expedients are for the hour, but principles are for the ages.
Henry Ward Beecher
Theology is but a science of applied to God. As schools change theology must necessarily change. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas of truth are not. Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.
Henry Ward Beecher
Suffering is part of the divine idea.
Henry Ward Beecher
The disciples found angels at the grave of Him they loved and we should always find them too, but that our eyes are too full of tears for seeing.
Henry Ward Beecher
You have seen a ship out on the bay, swinging with the tide, and seeming as if it would follow it and yet it cannot, for down beneath the water it is anchored. So many a soul sways toward heaven, but cannot ascend thither, because it is anchored to some secret sin.
Henry Ward Beecher
No emotion, any more than a wave, can long retain its own individual form.
