As the cream abandons the milk from which it took its life, and rises to the top and rides there, so men, because they are richer than those around about them, separate themselves, and all mankind below them they regard as skim milk.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.

Image
Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Man is at the bottom an animal, midway a citizen, and at the top divine. But the climate of this world is such that few ripen at the top.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There was never a person who did anything worth doing that he did not receive more than he gave.
