More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.
Henry Ward Beecher
He will see most without who has the best eyes within and he who only sees with his bodily organs sees but the surface.
Henry Ward Beecher
The call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself. Religion is relative to the individual.
Henry Ward Beecher
Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sophistry is the fallacy of argument.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no harder shield for the devil to pierce with temptation than singing with prayer.
Henry Ward Beecher
Everyone has influence, for good or bad, upon others.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not work that kills men it is worry. Worry is rust upon the blade.
Henry Ward Beecher
What could make me love my fellow Christian better than to see that God loves us all as we were all one soul?
Henry Ward Beecher
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some have supposed that the mosquito is of a devout turn, and never will partake of a meal without first saying grace. The devotions of some men are but a preface to blood-sucking.
Henry Ward Beecher
It takes a man to make a devil and the fittest man for such a purpose is a snarling, waspish, red-hot, fiery creditor.
Henry Ward Beecher
No church can be prospered in which all the ministration comes from the pulpit.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man is more cheated than the selfish man.
Henry Ward Beecher
No cradle for an emperor's child was ever prepared with so much magnificence as this world has been made for man. But it is only his cradle.
Henry Ward Beecher
You can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people are so dry that you might soak them in a joke for a month and it would not get through their skins.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every man is full of music but it is not every man that knows how to bring it out.
Henry Ward Beecher
