More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher
That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all.
Henry Ward Beecher
A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
