More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Some of God's noblest sons, I think, will be selected from those that know how to take wealth, with all its temptations, and maintain godliness therewith. It is hard to be a saint standing in a golden niche.
Henry Ward Beecher
Evil men of every degree will use you, flatter you, lead you on until you are useless then, if the virtuous do not pity you, or God compassionate, you are without a friend in the universe.
Henry Ward Beecher
Now comes the mystery.
Henry Ward Beecher
All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot.
Henry Ward Beecher
A woman's pity often opens the door to love.
Henry Ward Beecher
Go on your knees before God. Bring all your idols bring self-will, and pride, and every evil lust before Him, and give them up. Devote yourself, heart and soul, to His will and see if you do not know of the doctrine.
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
A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.
Henry Ward Beecher
Life is a plant that grows out of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
A house built on sand is, in fair weather, just as good as if builded on a rock. A cobweb is as good as the mightiest chain cable when there is no strain on it. It is trial that proves one thing weak and another strong.
Henry Ward Beecher
God's men are better than the devil's men, and they ought to act as though they thought they were.
Henry Ward Beecher
A coat that is not used, the moths eat and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted-the moths eat him and they have poor food at that.
Henry Ward Beecher
Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.
Henry Ward Beecher
Home should be an oratorio of the memory, singing to all our after life melodies and harmonies of old-remembered joy.
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
A man without mirth is like wagon without springs, in which one is caused disagreeably to jolt by every pebble over which it turns.
Henry Ward Beecher
Music cleanses the understanding inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
We under no circumstances know the appreciate of your parent till we develop into dad and mom ourselves.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is nothing which vanity does not desecrate.
Henry Ward Beecher
