More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. By these tendrils we clasp it and climb thitherward. And why do we think that we are separated from them? We never half knew them, nor in this world could.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Self-government by the whole people is the teleologic idea. The republican form of government is the noblest and the best, as it is the latest.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man has a right to picture God according to his need, whatever it be.
Henry Ward Beecher
A book is a garden A book is an orchard A book is a storehouse A book is a party. It is company by the way it is a counselor it is a multitude of counselors.

Henry Ward Beecher
It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
Henry Ward Beecher
Unfruitful emotion is to be suspected. Feeling acts as an impulse, as a spur, as a spring, and when feelings are excited, and they put nothing forward, they are sometimes even dangerous to a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the wine of existence.
Henry Ward Beecher
Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no true and abiding morality that is not founded in religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
A coat that is not used, the moths eat and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted-the moths eat him and they have poor food at that.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no harder shield for the devil to pierce with temptation than singing with prayer.
Henry Ward Beecher
Evil men of every degree will use you, flatter you, lead you on until you are useless then, if the virtuous do not pity you, or God compassionate, you are without a friend in the universe.
Henry Ward Beecher
Do not be afraid because the, community teems with excitement. Silence and death are dreadful. The rush of life, the vigor of earnest men, the conflict of realities, invigorate, cleanse, and establish the truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
