Image
You have seen a ship out on the bay, swinging with the tide, and seeming as if it would follow it and yet it cannot, for down beneath the water it is anchored. So many a soul sways toward heaven, but cannot ascend thither, because it is anchored to some secret sin.

Image
To do good work a man should no doubt be industrious. To do great work he must certainly be idle a well.

Image
God sends experience to paint men's portraits.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no right more universal and more sacred, because lying so near the root of existence, than the right of men to their own labor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The mere wit is only a human bauble. He is to life what bells are to horses-not expected to draw the load, but only to jingle while the horses draw.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Christianity is simply the ideal form of manhood represented to us by Jesus Christ.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nothing can be more airy and beautiful than the transparent seed-globe-a fairy dome of splendid architecture.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings, and strictly honest who complained of bad luck.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love is God's loaf and this is that feeding for which we are taught to pray, Give us this day our daily bread.

Happiness is not the end of life: character is.
