Nothing dies so hard, or rallies so often as intolerance.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding only gives them strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Oftentimes great and open temptations are the most harmless because they come with banners flying and bands playing and all the munitions of war in full view, so that we know we are in the midst of enemies that mean us damage, and we get ready to meet and resist them. Our peculiar dangers are those that surprise us and work treachery in our fort.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no true and abiding morality that is not founded in religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.

Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Life is a plant that grows out of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
By religion I mean perfected manhood,--the quickening of the soul by the influence of the Divine Spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
That energy which makes a child hard to manage is the energy which afterwards makes him a manager of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is not a person we employ who does not, like ourselves, desire recognition, praise, gentleness, forbearance, patience.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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.

Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.
