Image
Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no such thing as preaching patience into people, unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurlyburly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying to, and riding out the gale.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings, and strictly honest who complained of bad luck.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Repentance is the turning of the soul from the way of midnight to the point of the coming sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man has no more religion than he acts out in his life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As long as society is absolutely divided as milk is, the cream being at the top and the impoverished milk at the bottom, so long will society be unbalanced, and liable to be thrown into convulsions out of which will spring wars. A circulation throughout keeps it in health.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A Christianity which will not help those who are struggling from the bottom to the top of society, needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a mentor, a teacher, a guidepost, a counsellor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We let our blessings get mouldy, and then call them curses.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As for marigolds, poppies, hollyhocks, and valorous sunflowers, we shall never have a garden without them, both for their own sake, and for the sake of old-fashioned folks, who used to love them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The deeper men go into life, the deeper is their conviction that this life is not all. It is an unfinished symphony. A day may round out an insect's life, and a bird or a beast needs no tomorrow. Not so with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt the power of an endless life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It is one of the worst effects of prosperity to make a man a vortex instead of a fountain so that, instead of throwing out, he learns only to draw in.
Henry Ward Beecher

Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.
