Men are not put into this world to be everlastingly played on by the harping fingers of joy.

What is the Bible in your house? It is not the Old Testament, it is not the New Testament, it is not the Gospel according to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke, or John it is the Gospel according to William it is the Gospel according to Mary it is the Gospel according to Henry and James it is the Gospel according to your name. You write your own Bible.

There is no such thing as preaching patience into people, unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurlyburly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying to, and riding out the gale.

The deeper men go into life, the deeper is their conviction that this life is not all. It is an unfinished symphony. A day may round out an insect's life, and a bird or a beast needs no tomorrow. Not so with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt the power of an endless life.

But every hour afterward is a declension. And after it is one day old, it is thence-forward but the ghastly corpse of apple-pie.

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers and he who loves weeds will find weeds.

Troubles loom up big when they're ahead, And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.

The elms of New England! They are as much a part of her beauty as the columns of the Parthenon were the glory of its architecture.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Next to the pastoral came the agricultural life. When you add to that the manufacturing phase of development, society begins to fill out, and needs but wings to fly, and commerce is its wings.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
O never harm the dreaming world, the world of green, the world of leaves, but let its million palms unfold the adoration of the trees Of all man's works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that.

The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.

Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.

Everyone has conscience enough to hate few have religion enough to love.

A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.

All work and no plagiarism makes for dull sermons!

Poverty is very good in poems but very bad in the house very good in maxims and sermons but very bad in practical life.

The world is to be cleaned by somebody, and you are not called of God if you are ashamed to scrub.
