Quote

It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.

The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Go on your knees before God. Bring all your idols bring self-will, and pride, and every evil lust before Him, and give them up. Devote yourself, heart and soul, to His will and see if you do not know of the doctrine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher

The elect, those who will the non-elect, those who won't.
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
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
Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
As flowers always wear their own colors and give forth their own fragrance every day alike, so should Christians maintain their character at all times and under all circumstances.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The word of God tends to make large-minded noble-minded men.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The best stock a man can invest in, is the stock of a farm the best shares are plow shares and the best banks are the fertile banks of a rural stream the more these are broken the better dividends they pay.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
That energy which makes a child hard to manage is the energy which afterwards makes him a manager of life.
