Henry Ward Beecher
Nobody ever sees truth except in fragments.
Henry Ward Beecher
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men will let you abuse them if only you will make them laugh.
Henry Ward Beecher
A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.
Henry Ward Beecher
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
The meanest thing in the world is the devil.
Henry Ward Beecher
In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.
Henry Ward Beecher
He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause.
Henry Ward Beecher
