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
Of all man's works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.
Henry Ward Beecher
No grief has a right to immortality. That ground belongs to joy, to hope, to faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.
Henry Ward Beecher

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
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.
Henry Ward Beecher
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they are going to catch you in next.
Henry Ward Beecher
Christianity is simply the ideal form of manhood represented to us by Jesus Christ.
Henry Ward Beecher
The prouder a man is, the more he thinks he deserves, and the more he thinks he deserves, the less he really does deserve.
Henry Ward Beecher
If any man is rich and powerful he comes under the law of God by which the higher branches must take the burnings of the sun, and shade those that are lower by which the tall trees must protect the weak plants beneath them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Love is the wine of existence. When you have taken that, you have taken the most precious drop that there is in the cluster.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is a man dying with his harness on that angels love to escort upward.
Henry Ward Beecher
No people are so easy to govern as the intelligent, and none are so hard to govern as the ignorant.
Henry Ward Beecher
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it.
