More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
A man without self-restraint is like a barrel without hoops, and tumbles to pieces.
Henry Ward Beecher
Walking humbly, you are more of a man than you were when you walked proudly.
Henry Ward Beecher
Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.
Henry Ward Beecher
Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people are proud of their humility.
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
Good-humor makes all things tolerable
Henry Ward Beecher
If Christ is the wisdom of God and the power of God in the experience of those who trust and love Him, there needs no further argument of His divinity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Rain! whose soft architectural hands have power to cut stones, and chisel to shapes of grandeur the very mountains.
Henry Ward Beecher
A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.
Henry Ward Beecher
Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered.
Henry Ward Beecher
An ambition which has conscience in it will always be a laborious and faithful engineer, and will build the road, and bridge the chasms between itself and eminent success by the most faithful and minute performances of duty.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our flag means all that our fathers meant in the Revolutionary War. It means all that the Declaration of Independence meant. It means justice. It means liberty. It means happiness.... Every color means liberty. Every thread means liberty. Every star and stripe means liberty.
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
Of all escape mechanisms, death is the most efficient.
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
We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.
Henry Ward Beecher
No man can tell another his faults so as to benefit him, unless he loves him.
Henry Ward Beecher
Boys have their soft and gentle moods too. You would suppose by the morning racket that nothing could be more foreign to their nature than romance and vague sadness. . . . But boys have hours of great sinking and sadness, when kindness and fondness are peculiarly needful to them.
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.
