More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher
The last person one wants to be is themselves. Sadly, that is the best person to be.
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
Half the spiritual difficulties that men and women suffer arise from a morbid state of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
Faith is spiritualized imagination.
