Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty, how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.

Go on your knees before God. Bring all your idols bring self-will, and pride, and every evil lust before Him, and give them up. Devote yourself, heart and soul, to His will and see if you do not know of the doctrine.

Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Laws and institutions, like clocks, must occasionally be cleaned, wound up, and set to true time.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Even a liar tells a hundred truths to one lie he has to, to make the lie good for anything.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A babe is nothing but a bundle of possibilities.
Henry Ward Beecher

Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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.
