Henry Ward Beecher
Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is a man dying with his harness on that angels love to escort upward.
Henry Ward Beecher
The best lessons a man ever learns are from his mistakes. It is not for want of schoolmasters that we are still ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.
Henry Ward Beecher
But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.
Henry Ward Beecher
There never was a liar that had not a spot in him where he could not help admiring truth.
Henry Ward Beecher
