Men are not put into this world to be everlastingly played on by the harping fingers of joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Blessed be the man whose work drives him. Something must drive men and if it is wholesome industry, they have no time for a thousand torments and temptations.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love is ownership. We own whom we love. The universe is God's because He loves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Death is the Christian's vacation morning. School is out. It is time to go home.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Were one to ask me in which direction I think man strongest, I should say, his capacity to hate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Thinking is creating with God, as thinking is writing with the ready writer and worlds are only leaves turned over in the process of composition, about his throne.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nowhere on the globe do men live so well as in America, or grumble so much.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We not only live among men, but there are airy hosts, blessed spectators, sympathetic lookers-on, that see and know and appreciate our thoughts and feelings and acts.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The strength of a man consists in finding out the way God is going, and going that way.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Doctrine is nothing but the skin of truth set up and stuffed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We rejoice in God since he has taught us that every thing which is true in us, is but a faint expression of what is in him. And thus all our joys become to us the echo of higher joys, and our very life is as a dream of that nobler life, to which we shall awaken when we die.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Speak of the appetite for drink or of a bon-vivant's relish for dinner! What are these mere animal throes and ragings compared with those fantasies of taste, of those yearning of the imagination, of those insatiable appetites of intellect, which bewilder a student in a great bookseller's temptation-hall.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is a power in the human mind ... to see things as they are ... but there is equally a power to see things as they might be.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The blossom cannot tell what becomes of its odor, and no person can tell what becomes of his or her influence and example.
