More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Like waves, our feelings may continue by repeating themselves, by intermittent rushes but no emotion any more than a wave can long retain its own individual form.
Henry Ward Beecher
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Henry Ward Beecher
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you are idle, you are on the road to ruin and there are few stopping-places upon it. It is rather a precipice than a road
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is God's loaf and this is that feeding for which we are taught to pray, Give us this day our daily bread.
Henry Ward Beecher
As long as society is absolutely divided as milk is, the cream being at the top and the impoverished milk at the bottom, so long will society be unbalanced, and liable to be thrown into convulsions out of which will spring wars. A circulation throughout keeps it in health.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
Henry Ward Beecher
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty, how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.
Henry Ward Beecher
He who is false to present duty breaks a thread in the loom, and will find the flaw when he may have forgotten its cause.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every man should use his intellect, not as he uses his lamp in the study, only for his own seeing, but as the lighthouse uses its lamps, that those afar off on the seas may see the shining, and learn their way.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are many troubles which you cannot cure by the Bible and the hymn-book, but which you can cure by a good perspiration and a breath of fresh air.
Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are sent to do God's work in unrevealed paths, and to diffuse influence by channels that we hardly suspect.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men will let you abuse them if only you will make them laugh.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is nothing that makes more cowards and feeble men than public opinion.
