More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Morality must always precede and accompany religion, and yet religion is much more than morality.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War. It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant. It means justice. It means liberty. It means happiness.... Every color means liberty. Every thread means liberty. Every star and stripe means liberty.
Henry Ward Beecher
God made the human body, and it is the most exquisite and wonderful organization which has come to us from the divine hand.
Henry Ward Beecher
The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing can compare in beauty, and wonder, and admirableness, and divinity itself, to the silent work in obscure dwellings of faithful women bringing their children to honor and virtue and piety.
Henry Ward Beecher
God's providence is on the side of clear heads.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
