More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Image
I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.

Image
To do good work a man should no doubt be industrious. To do great work he must certainly be idle a well.
