Nature is a vast repository of manly enjoyments.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No man rides so high and in such good company as the man that allies himself to a truth.

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven, and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.

The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant.
