Henry Ward Beecher
There is no such thing as preaching patience into people, unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurlyburly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying to, and riding out the gale.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is a very good world for the purposes for which it was built and that is all anything is good for.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that is afraid is never a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
The great lever by which to raise and save the world is the unbounded love and mercy of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no liberty to men whose passions are stronger than their religious feelings there is no liberty to men in whom ignorance predominates over knowledge there is no liberty to men who know not how to govern themselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are many persons who look on Sunday as a sponge to wipe out the sins of the week
