More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The deeper men go into life, the deeper is their conviction that this life is not all. It is an unfinished symphony. A day may round out an insect's life, and a bird or a beast needs no tomorrow. Not so with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt the power of an endless life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith. We should live for the future, and yet should find our life in the fidelities of the present the last is only the method of the first.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the end of art to inoculate men with the love of nature. But those who have a psssion for nature in the natural way, need no pictures nor gallereies. Spring is their designer, and the whole year their artist.
Henry Ward Beecher
The fear of doing right is the grand treason in times of danger.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.

It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.
Henry Ward Beecher
If a man has come to that point where he is no content that he says I do not want to know any more, or do any more or be any more, he is in a state in which he ought to be changed into a mummy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution.
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
God appoints our graces to be nurses to other men's weaknesses.
Henry Ward Beecher
The truest self-respect is not to think of self.
Henry Ward Beecher
Joy is more divine than sorrow, for joy is bread and sorrow is medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead,--dead in trespasses and sin of blear-eyed vanity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty, how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.
Henry Ward Beecher
Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Of all man's works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes a man to make a devil and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Affliction comes to us all ...not to impoverish, but to enrich us, as the plough enriches the field to multiply our joy, as the seed, by planting, is multiplied a thousand-fold.
