The beginning is the promise of the end.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered.
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
Repentance is the turning of the soul from the way of midnight to the point of the coming sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
While a man is stringing a harp, he tries the strings, not for music, but for construction. When it is finished it shall be played for melodies. God is fashioning the human heart for future joy. He only sounds a string here and there to see how far His work has progressed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men are not put into this world to be everlastingly played on by the harping fingers of joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher

Never be grandiloquent when you want to drive home a searching truth. Don't whip with a switch that has the leaves on, if you want it to tingle.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Life is a plant that grows out of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
No emotion, any more than a wave, can long retain its own individual form.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Mirthfulness is in the mind and you cannot get it out. It is just as good in its place as conscience or veneration.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We rejoice in God since he has taught us that every thing which is true in us, is but a faint expression of what is in him. And thus all our joys become to us the echo of higher joys, and our very life is as a dream of that nobler life, to which we shall awaken when we die.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Some folks think that Christianity means a kind of insurance policy, and that it has little to do with this life, but that it is a very good thing when a man dies.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The diameter of each day is measured by the stretch of thought - not by the rising and setting of the sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Some people are so dry that you might soak them in a joke for a month and it would not get through their skins.
