More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
That is the best baptism that leaves the man cleanest inside.
Henry Ward Beecher
While a man is stringing a harp, he tries the strings, not for music, but for construction. When it is finished it shall be played for melodies. God is fashioning the human heart for future joy. He only sounds a string here and there to see how far His work has progressed.
Henry Ward Beecher
Home should be the center of joy, equatorial and tropical.
Henry Ward Beecher
You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are but you must approach each man by the right door.

Henry Ward Beecher
We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit.
Henry Ward Beecher
As the cream abandons the milk from which it took its life, and rises to the top and rides there, so men, because they are richer than those around about them, separate themselves, and all mankind below them they regard as skim milk.
Henry Ward Beecher
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult Dr. Sun more.
Henry Ward Beecher
Genius is a steed too fiery for the plow or the cart.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
Henry Ward Beecher
