More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
The tree is but a huge boquet.
Henry Ward Beecher
True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.
Henry Ward Beecher
No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.
Henry Ward Beecher
The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
We need not fear shipwreck when God is the pilot.
Henry Ward Beecher
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.
Henry Ward Beecher
I think you might dispense with half your doctors if you would only consult Dr. Sun more.
Henry Ward Beecher
