More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man ought to carry himself in the world as an orange tree would if it could walk up and down in the garden, swinging perfume from every little censer it holds up in the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
They who refuse education to a black man would turn the South into a vast poorhouse, and labor into a pendulum, necessity vibrating between poverty and indolence.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many people are afraid to embrace religion, for fear they shall not succeed in maintaining it.
Henry Ward Beecher
As long as society is absolutely divided as milk is, the cream being at the top and the impoverished milk at the bottom, so long will society be unbalanced, and liable to be thrown into convulsions out of which will spring wars. A circulation throughout keeps it in health.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no harder shield for the devil to pierce with temptation than singing with prayer.
Henry Ward Beecher
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it.
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
Men can make an idol of the Bible.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some men will not shave on Sunday, and yet they spend all the week in shaving their fellow-men and many folks think it very wicked to black their boots on Sunday morning, yet they do not hesitate to black their neighbor's reputation on week-days.
Henry Ward Beecher
He will see most without who has the best eyes within and he who only sees with his bodily organs sees but the surface.
Henry Ward Beecher
I never know how to worship until I know how to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Morality is character and conduct such as is required by the circle or community in which the man's life happens to be placed. It shows how much good men require of us.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
The continuance and frequent fits of anger produce in the soul a propensity to be angry which oftentimes ends in choler, bitterness, and moronity, when the mid becomes ulcerated, peevish, and querulous, and is wounded by the least occurrence.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is the very wantonness of folly for a man to search out the frets and burdens of his calling and give his mind every day to a consideration of them. They belong to human life. They are inevitable. Brooding only gives them strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
Today is a goblet day. The whole heavens have been mingled with exquisite skill to a delicious flavor, and the crystal cup put to every lip. Breathing is like ethereal drinking. It is a luxury simply to exist.
Henry Ward Beecher
Many yet are the secret truths of God which will be unfolded as they are needed.
Henry Ward Beecher
There never was a liar that had not a spot in him where he could not help admiring truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
