More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.
Henry Ward Beecher
Take all the robes of all the good judges that have ever lived on the face of the earth, and they would not be large enough to cover the iniquity of one corrupt judge.
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
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
Nature holds an immense uncollected debt over every man's head.
Henry Ward Beecher
Oftentimes great and open temptations are the most harmless because they come with banners flying and bands playing and all the munitions of war in full view, so that we know we are in the midst of enemies that mean us damage, and we get ready to meet and resist them. Our peculiar dangers are those that surprise us and work treachery in our fort.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man without self-restraint is like a barrel without hoops, and tumbles to pieces.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no slave out of heaven like a loving woman and of all loving women, there is no such slave as a mother.
Henry Ward Beecher
God has made sleep to be a sponge by which to rub out fatigue. A man's roots are planted in night as in a soil.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people think black is the color of heaven, and that the more they can make their faces look like midnight, the more evidence they have of grace. But God, who made the sun and the flowers, never sent me to proclaim to you such a lie as that.
Henry Ward Beecher
And now we beseech of Thee that we may have every day some such sense of God's mercy and of the power of God about us, as we have of the fullness of the light of heaven before us.
Henry Ward Beecher
That is true culture which helps us to work for the social betterment of all.
Henry Ward Beecher
Troubles loom up big when they're ahead, And joys seem always sweeter when they're past.
Henry Ward Beecher
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Henry Ward Beecher
The strong are God's natural protectors of the weak.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents. The soul's inarticulate moanings are the affections yearning for the Infinite, and having no one to tell them what it is that ails them.
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
Whatever is almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is more likely to lead astray.
Henry Ward Beecher
An oyster, that marvel of delicacy, that concentration of sapid excellence, that mouthful bwefore all other mouthfuls, who first had faith to believe it, and courage to execute? The exterior is not persuasive.
Henry Ward Beecher
The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age.
