More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.
Henry Ward Beecher
Life is full of amusement to an amusing man.
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
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
Nature is a vast repository of manly enjoyments.
Henry Ward Beecher
The gravest events dawn with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising. All great developments complete themselves in the world and modestly wait in silence, praising themselves never, and announcing themselves not at all. We must be sensitive, and sensible, if we would see the beginnings and endings of great things. That is our part.
Henry Ward Beecher
Like the cellar-growing vine is the Christian who lives in the darkness and bondage of fear. But let him go forth, with the liberty of God, into the light of love, and he will be like the plant in the field, healthy, robust, and joyful.
Henry Ward Beecher
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Henry Ward Beecher
October is nature's funeral month. Nature glories in death more than in life. The month of departure is more beautiful than the month of coming - October than May. Every green thin loves to die in bright colors.
Henry Ward Beecher
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
As the cream abandons the milk from which it took its life, and rises to the top and rides there, so men, because they are richer than those around about them, separate themselves, and all mankind below them they regard as skim milk.
Henry Ward Beecher
Let the GRATEFUL HEART sweep through the day that it may recognize in every hour some sweet blessing.
Henry Ward Beecher
The way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.
Henry Ward Beecher
Whatever is almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is more likely to lead astray.
Henry Ward Beecher
To array a man's will against his sickness is the supreme art of medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.
Henry Ward Beecher
God appoints our graces to be nurses to other men's weaknesses.
Henry Ward Beecher
If men had wings and bore black feathers, Few of them would be clever enough to be crows.
Henry Ward Beecher
Caution and conservatism are expected of old age but when the young men of a nation are possessed of such a spirit, when they are afraid of the noise and strife caused by the applications of the truth, heaven save the land! Its funeral bell has already rung.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the world's river of life
