More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
When God thought of mother, He must have laughed with satisfaction, and framed it quickly - so rich, so deep, so divine, so full of soul, power, and beauty, was the conception.
Henry Ward Beecher
A church debt is the devil's salary.
Henry Ward Beecher
Christianity is simply the ideal form of manhood represented to us by Jesus Christ.
Henry Ward Beecher
A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
A bird in a cage is not half a bird.
Henry Ward Beecher
October is nature's funeral month. Nature glories in death more than in life. The month of departure is more beautiful than the month of coming - October than May. Every green thin loves to die in bright colors.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.
Henry Ward Beecher
In the family, happiness is in the ratio in which each is serving the others, seeking one another's good, and bearing one another's burdens.
Henry Ward Beecher
Home should be an oratorio of the memory, singing to all our after life melodies and harmonies of old-remembered joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man should fear when he only enjoys what good he does publicly. Is it not the publicity rather than the charity he loves? Is it not vanity, rather than benevolence, that gives such charities?
Henry Ward Beecher
Think of a man in a chronic state of anger!
Henry Ward Beecher
Rich men are to bear the infirmities of the poor. Wise men are to bear the mistakes of the ignorant. Strong men are to bear with the feeble. Cultured people are to bear with the rude and vulgar. If a rough and coarse man meets an ecstatically fine man, the man that is highest up is to be the servant of the man that is lowest down.
Henry Ward Beecher
A mother's prayers, silent and gentle, can never miss the road to the throne of all bounty.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is a man dying with his harness on that angels love to escort upward.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.
Henry Ward Beecher
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
The continuance and frequent fits of anger produce in the soul a propensity to be angry which oftentimes ends in choler, bitterness, and moronity, when the mid becomes ulcerated, peevish, and querulous, and is wounded by the least occurrence.
Henry Ward Beecher
The things that hurt us teach us.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is a temperate zone in the mind, between luxurious indolence and exacting work and it is to this region, just between laziness and labor, that summer reading belongs.
