More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A law is valuable not because it is law, but because there is right in it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
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 mere wit is only a human bauble. He is to life what bells are to horses-not expected to draw the load, but only to jingle while the horses draw.
Henry Ward Beecher
Wealth in activity--capital with all its friction--is far safer than invested wealth lying dead.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes a man to make a devil and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher
God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope or courage. Pear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man can look upon the simple wild-rose, and feel no pleasure, his taste has been corrupted.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sophistry is the fallacy of argument.
Henry Ward Beecher
Human life is God's outer church. Its needs and urgencies are priests and pastors.
Henry Ward Beecher
You have seen a ship out on the bay, swinging with the tide, and seeming as if it would follow it and yet it cannot, for down beneath the water it is anchored. So many a soul sways toward heaven, but cannot ascend thither, because it is anchored to some secret sin.
Henry Ward Beecher
Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
Henry Ward Beecher
To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.
Henry Ward Beecher
A coat that is not used, the moths eat and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted-the moths eat him and they have poor food at that.
Henry Ward Beecher
Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
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
Every green thing loves to die in bright colors. The vegetable cohorts march glowing out of the year in flaming dresses, as if to leave this earth were a triumph and not a sadness. It is never nature that is sad, but only we, that dare not look back on the past, and that have not its prophecy of the future in our bosoms.
Henry Ward Beecher
Maple-trees are the cows of trees (spring-milked).
Henry Ward Beecher
Fear is the soul's signal for rallying.
