Riches without law are more dangerous than is poverty without law
Henry Ward Beecher

It takes longer for man to find out man than any other creature that is made.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a mentor, a teacher, a guidepost, a counsellor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
God never made anything else so beautiful as man.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The deeper men go into life, the deeper is their conviction that this life is not all. It is an unfinished symphony. A day may round out an insect's life, and a bird or a beast needs no tomorrow. Not so with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt the power of an endless life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We rejoice in God since he has taught us that every thing which is true in us, is but a faint expression of what is in him. And thus all our joys become to us the echo of higher joys, and our very life is as a dream of that nobler life, to which we shall awaken when we die.

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Nothing can compare in beauty, and wonder, and admirableness, and divinity itself, to the silent work in obscure dwellings of faithful women bringing their children to honor and virtue and piety.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If men had wings and bore black feathers, Few of them would be clever enough to be crows.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The church is no more religion than the masonry of the aqueduct is the water that flows through it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love is the wine of existence.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There are multitudes of persons whose idea of liberty is the right to do what they please, instead of the right of doing that which is lawful and best.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is an ugly kind of forgiveness in this world--a kind of hedgehog forgiveness, shot out like quills.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Rich men are to bear the infirmities of the poor. Wise men are to bear the mistakes of the ignorant. Strong men are to bear with the feeble. Cultured people are to bear with the rude and vulgar. If a rough and coarse man meets an ecstatically fine man, the man that is highest up is to be the servant of the man that is lowest down.
