Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
As the imagination is set to look into the invisible and immaterial, it seems to attract something of their vitality and though it can give nothing to the body to redeem it from years, it can give to the soul that freshness of youth in old age which is even more beautiful than youth in the young.
Henry Ward Beecher
Christ certainly did come to destroy the law and the prophets.
Henry Ward Beecher
Make men large and strong and tyranny will bankrupt itself in making shackles for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
