More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.
Henry Ward Beecher
That energy which makes a child hard to manage is the energy which afterwards makes him a manager of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.
Henry Ward Beecher
The natural term of an apple-pie is but twelve hours. It reaches its highest state about one hour after it comes from the oven, and just before its natural heat has quite departed. 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.
Henry Ward Beecher
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our heads back on the bosom of Christ, and quietly fall asleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
Fear secretes acids but love and trust are sweet juices.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nature would be scarcely worth a puff of the empty wind if it were not that all Nature is but a temple, of which God is the brightness and the glory.
Henry Ward Beecher
No church can be prospered in which all the ministration comes from the pulpit.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead,--dead in trespasses and sin of blear-eyed vanity.
Henry Ward Beecher
A book is a garden A book is an orchard A book is a storehouse A book is a party. It is company by the way it is a counselor it is a multitude of counselors.
Henry Ward Beecher
God made every man to have power to be mightier than the events round about him to hold by his firm will the reigns by which all things are guided.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be against him, is mightier than all of them.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is a patience that cackles. There are a great many virtues that are hen-like. They are virtue, to be sure but everybody in the neighborhood has to know about them.
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
Everyone has conscience enough to hate few have religion enough to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
“I can forgive, but I cannot forget,” is only another way of saying, “I will not forgive.”
Henry Ward Beecher
Books are not men and yet they stay alive.
Henry Ward Beecher
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man without mirth is like wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it turns.
