More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!
Henry Ward Beecher
Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. By these tendrils we clasp it and climb thitherward. And why do we think that we are separated from them? We never half knew them, nor in this world could.
Henry Ward Beecher
Heaven is a place of restless activity, the abode of never-tiring thought.
Henry Ward Beecher
Fear secretes acids but love and trust are sweet juices.
Henry Ward Beecher
We go to the grave of a friend saying, A man is dead, but angels throng about him saying, A man is born.
Henry Ward Beecher
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
Very few men acquire wealth in such a manner as to receive pleasure from it.
Henry Ward Beecher
The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.
Henry Ward Beecher
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
Henry Ward Beecher
Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.
Henry Ward Beecher
A lie always needs a truth for a handle to it. The worst lies are those whose blade is false, but whose handle is true.
Henry Ward Beecher
Were one to ask me in which direction I think man strongest, I should say, his capacity to hate.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men's best successes come after their disappointments.
Henry Ward Beecher
As warmth makes even glaciers trickle, and opens streams in the ribs of frozen mountains, so the heart knows the full flow and life of its grief only when it begins to melt and pass away.
Henry Ward Beecher
The diameter of each day is measured by the stretch of thought - not by the rising and setting of the sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
Fear is the soul's signal for rallying.
Henry Ward Beecher
God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not the choice. You must take it. The only choice is how.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men think God is destroying them because he is tuning them. The violinist screws up the key till the tense cord sounds the concert pitch but it is not to break it, but to use it tunefully, that he stretches the string upon the musical rack.
Henry Ward Beecher
Good nature is often a mere matter of health.
Henry Ward Beecher
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. It is a blessed baptism which gives the first waking thoughts into the bosom of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
