More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The prouder a man is, the more he thinks he deserves, and the more he thinks he deserves, the less he really does deserve.
Henry Ward Beecher
Make men large and strong and tyranny will bankrupt itself in making shackles for them.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Everyone has influence, for good or bad, upon others.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nothing can compare in beauty, and wonder, and admirableness, and divinity itself, to the silent work in obscure dwellings of faithful women bringing their children to honor and virtue and piety.
Henry Ward Beecher
The indolent mind is not empty, but full of vermin.
Henry Ward Beecher
Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
Henry Ward Beecher
Public sentiment is to public officers what water is to the wheel of the mill.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many people are afraid to embrace religion, for fear they shall not succeed in maintaining it.
Henry Ward Beecher
May we be satisfied with nothing that shall not have in it something of immortality.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
