God never made anything else so beautiful as man.
Henry Ward Beecher

Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution.
Henry Ward Beecher

Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher

The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher

Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man is more cheated than the selfish man.
Henry Ward Beecher

The meanest thing in the world is the devil.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A Christianity which will not help those who are struggling from the bottom to the top of society, needs another Christ to die for it.
