More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Good-humor makes all things tolerable
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
No man is such a conqueror, as the one that has defeated himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages.
Henry Ward Beecher
To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.
Henry Ward Beecher
He will see most without who has the best eyes within and he who only sees with his bodily organs sees but the surface.
Henry Ward Beecher
A mother's prayers, silent and gentle, can never miss the road to the throne of all bounty.
Henry Ward Beecher
In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.
Henry Ward Beecher
Genius unexerted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
Henry Ward Beecher
