More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
It is a higher exhibition of Christian manliness to be able to bear trouble than to get rid of it.
Henry Ward Beecher
October is nature's funeral month. Nature glories in death more than in life. The month of departure is more beautiful than the month of coming - October than May. Every green thin loves to die in bright colors.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The deeper men go into life, the deeper is their conviction that this life is not all. It is an unfinished symphony. A day may round out an insect's life, and a bird or a beast needs no tomorrow. Not so with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt the power of an endless life.
Henry Ward Beecher

You are not called to be a canary in a cage. You are called to be an eagle, and to fly sun to sun, over continents.
Henry Ward Beecher
The elms of New England! They are as much a part of her beauty as the columns of the Parthenon were the glory of its architecture.
Henry Ward Beecher
The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no true and abiding morality that is not founded in religion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Yea, though the breath of disappointment should chill the sanguine heart, Speedily gloweth it again, warmed by the live embers of hope.
Henry Ward Beecher
The advertisements in a newspaper are more full knowledge in respect to what is going on in a state or community than the editorial columns are.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should keep a fair-sized cemetery in which to bury the faults of his friends.
Henry Ward Beecher
We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
Age and youth look upon life from the opposite ends of the telescope it is exceedingly long,--it is exceedingly short.
