So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our heads back on the bosom of Christ, and quietly fall asleep.

More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
I beseech you to correct one fault - severe speech of others never speak evil of any man, no matter what the facts may be.
Henry Ward Beecher
As the imagination is set to look into the invisible and immaterial, it seems to attract something of their vitality and though it can give nothing to the body to redeem it from years, it can give to the soul that freshness of youth in old age which is even more beautiful than youth in the young.
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
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
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are but a point, a single comma, and God is the literature of eternity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the wine of existence. When you have taken that, you have taken the most precious drop that there is in the cluster.
Henry Ward Beecher
You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are but you must approach each man by the right door.
Henry Ward Beecher
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher
As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers . . . have a mysterious and subtle influence upon the feelings, not unlike some strains of music. They relax the tenseness of the mind. They dissolve its rigor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be against him, is mightier than all of them.
Henry Ward Beecher
You cannot sift out the poor from the community. The poor are indispensable to the rich.
Henry Ward Beecher
Age and youth look upon life from the opposite ends of the telescope it is exceedingly long,--it is exceedingly short.
Henry Ward Beecher
I never know how to worship until I know how to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven, and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came.
