Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Many men are stored full of unused knowledge. Like loaded guns that are never fired off, or military magazines in times of peace, they are stuffed with useless ammunition.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry and where is there a more kingly flower?
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a mentor, a teacher, a guidepost, a counsellor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nothing goes far which has not the wings of love to make it buoyant, so that it can fly.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A reputation for good judgment, for fair dealing, for truth, and for rectitude, is itself a fortune.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Many men are mere warehouses full of merchandise--the head, the heart, are stuffed with goods. . . . There are apartments in their souls which were once tenanted by taste, and love, and joy, and worship, but they are all deserted now, and the rooms are filled with earthy and material things.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
