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
In the morning, we carry the world like Atlas at noon, we stoop and bend beneath it and at night, it crushes us flat to the ground.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not well for a man to pray cream and live skim milk.
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
Expedients are for the hour, but principles are for the ages.
Henry Ward Beecher
Unfruitful emotion is to be suspected. Feeling acts as an impulse, as a spur, as a spring, and when feelings are excited, and they put nothing forward, they are sometimes even dangerous to a man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
A thoughtful mind, when it sees a nation's flag, sees not the flag, but the nation itself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Morality is character and conduct such as is required by the circle or community in which the man's life happens to be placed. It shows how much good men require of us.
Henry Ward Beecher
No church can be prospered in which all the ministration comes from the pulpit.
Henry Ward Beecher
A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Young love is a flame very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
Henry Ward Beecher
Take from the Bible the Godship of Christ, and it would be but a heap of dust.
Henry Ward Beecher
Religion, in one sense, is a life of self-denial, just as husbandry, in one sense, is a work of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man without mirth is like wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it turns.
Henry Ward Beecher
Beauty may be said to be God's trademark in creation.
Henry Ward Beecher
The mere wit is only a human bauble. He is to life what bells are to horses-not expected to draw the load, but only to jingle while the horses draw.
Henry Ward Beecher
If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.
Henry Ward Beecher
Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.
Henry Ward Beecher
What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
Henry Ward Beecher
