Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength and strength is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own.

Henry Ward Beecher

God does not refuse to make himself known to man. He only will not do it by the symbolism of matter. He comes to us at once by the most natural course. We are in a transient state our bodies are accidental, and God comes to us by that which is higher and truer--the intuitions of the soul.

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Men will let you abuse them if only you will make them laugh.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Half the spiritual difficulties that men and women suffer arise from a morbid state of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Fear secretes acids but love and trust are sweet juices.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion.
