Henry Ward Beecher

Books are the true metempsychosis,--they are the symbol and presage of immortality. The dead men are scattered, and none shall find them. Behold they are here! they do but sleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
People may talk about the equality of the sexes! They are not equal. The silent smile of a sensible, loving woman will vanquish ten men.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself. Religion is relative to the individual.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Christ certainly did come to destroy the law and the prophets.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A babe is nothing but a bundle of possibilities.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A babe is a mother's anchor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The blossom cannot tell what becomes of its odor, and no person can tell what becomes of his or her influence and example.
