More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Let every man come to God in his own way.
Henry Ward Beecher
Mirthfulness is in the mind and you cannot get it out. It is just as good in its place as conscience or veneration.
Henry Ward Beecher
To do good work a man should no doubt be industrious. To do great work he must certainly be idle a well.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are apartments in the soul which have a glorious outlook from whose windows you can see across the river of death, and into the shining city beyond but how often are these neglected for the lower ones, which have earthward-looking windows.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man without ambition is worse than dough that has no yeast in it to raise it.
Henry Ward Beecher
The tidal wave of God's providence is carrying liberty throughout the globe.
Henry Ward Beecher
Learning, to be of much use, must have a tendency to spread itself among the common people.
Henry Ward Beecher
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sorrows, as storms, bring down the clouds close to the earth sorrows bring heaven down close and they are instruments of cleansing and purifying.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men must read for amusement as well as for knowledge.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.
Henry Ward Beecher
To the covetous man life is a nightmare, and God lets him wrestle with it as best he may.
Henry Ward Beecher
I have great hope of a wicked man, slender hope of a mean one. A wicked man may be converted and become a prominent saint. A mean man ought to be converted six or seven times, one right after the other, to give him a fair start and put him on an equality with a bold, wicked man.
Henry Ward Beecher
The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that take away attritions, that remove friction, that make the courses of life smooth, and the intercourse of men gentle!
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
Henry Ward Beecher
God pardons like a mother, who kisses the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is one of the worst effects of prosperity to make a man a vortex instead of a fountain so that, instead of throwing out, he learns only to draw in.
Henry Ward Beecher
If a boy is not trained to endure and to bear trouble, he will grow up a girl and a boy that is a girl has all a girl's weakness without any of her regal qualities. A woman made out of a woman is God's noblest work a woman made out of a man is His meanest.
Henry Ward Beecher
Find out what your temptations are, and you will find out largely what you are yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
