More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A man's true estate of power and riches is to be in himself not in his dwelling or position or external relations, but in his own essential character.
Henry Ward Beecher
The religion of Jesus Christ is not ascetic, nor sour, nor gloomy, nor circumscribing. It is full of sweetness in the present and in promise.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men will let you abuse them if only you will make them laugh.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
If there's a job to be done, I always ask the busiest man in my parish to take it on and it gets done.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Let every man come to God in his own way.
Henry Ward Beecher
If Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God in the experience of those who trust and love Him, there needs no further argument of His divinity.
Henry Ward Beecher
There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven, and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came.
Henry Ward Beecher
He that does not know how wisely to meddle with public affairs in preaching the gospel, does not know how to preach the gospel.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion.
Henry Ward Beecher
Christians should be like a flower store: the odor of sanctity should betray them wherever they are.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are but a point, a single comma, and God is the literature of eternity.
Henry Ward Beecher
What is the Bible in your house? It is not the Old Testament, it is not the New Testament, it is not the Gospel according to Matthew, or Mark, or Luke, or John it is the Gospel according to William it is the Gospel according to Mary it is the Gospel according to Henry and James it is the Gospel according to your name. You write your own Bible.
Henry Ward Beecher
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered.
Henry Ward Beecher
Education will not come of itself it will never come unless you seek it it will not come unless you take the first steps which lead to it but, taking these steps, every man can acquire it.
