More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that take away attritions, that remove friction, that make the courses of life smooth, and the intercourse of men gentle!
Henry Ward Beecher
Involved sentences, crooked, circuitous, and parenthetical, no matter how musically they may be balanced, are prejudicial to a facile understanding of the truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.
Henry Ward Beecher
Life is full of amusement to an amusing man.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
Henry Ward Beecher
As flowers carry dewdrops, trembling on the edges of the petals, and ready to fall at the first waft of wind or brush of bird, so the heart should carry its beaded words of thanksgiving and at the first breath of heavenly flavor, let down the shower, perfumed with the heart's gratitude.
Henry Ward Beecher
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
Henry Ward Beecher
People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.
Henry Ward Beecher
Affliction comes to us all ...not to impoverish, but to enrich us, as the plough enriches the field to multiply our joy, as the seed, by planting, is multiplied a thousand-fold.
Henry Ward Beecher
We go to the grave of a friend saying, A man is dead, but angels throng about him saying, A man is born.
Henry Ward Beecher
The last person one wants to be is themselves. Sadly, that is the best person to be.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are many persons who look on Sunday as a sponge to wipe out the sins of the week
Henry Ward Beecher
A mother is as different from anything else that God ever thought of, as can possibly be. She is a distinct and individual creation.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is not on earth so base a knave as the man who wins the love of a woman when he knows that he cannot or ought not to requite it.
Henry Ward Beecher
As the imagination is set to look into the invisible and immaterial, it seems to attract something of their vitality and though it can give nothing to the body to redeem it from years, it can give to the soul that freshness of youth in old age which is even more beautiful than youth in the young.
Henry Ward Beecher
Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law
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
A man that is afraid is never a man.
