More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Education will not come of itself it will never come unless you seek it it will not come unless you take the first steps which lead to it but, taking these steps, every man can acquire it.
Henry Ward Beecher
God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer--the intuitions of the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher
No people are so easy to govern as the intelligent, and none are so hard to govern as the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
Henry Ward Beecher
The mystery of history is an insoluble problem.
Henry Ward Beecher
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
In the ordinary business of life, industry can do anything which genius can do, and very many things which it cannot.
Henry Ward Beecher
As ships meet at sea a moment together, when words of greeting must be spoken, and then away upon the deep, so men meet in this world and I think we should cross no man's path without hailing him, and if he needs giving him supplies.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not well for a man to pray cream and live skim milk.
Henry Ward Beecher
God wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.
Henry Ward Beecher
Badgered, snubbed and scolded on the one hand petted, flattered and indulged on the other-it is astonishing how many children work their way up to an honest manhood in spite of parents and friends. Human nature has an element of great toughness in it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sorrows, as storms, bring down the clouds close to the earth sorrows bring heaven down close and they are instruments of cleansing and purifying.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men are like trees: each one must put forth the leaf that is created in him.
Henry Ward Beecher
Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Beauty may be said to be God's trademark in creation.
Henry Ward Beecher
You can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
Spreading Christianity abroad is sometimes an excuse for not having it at home.
Henry Ward Beecher
THERE are joys which long to be ours.
Henry Ward Beecher
