More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.
Henry Ward Beecher
Let the GRATEFUL HEART sweep through the day that it may recognize in every hour some sweet blessing.
Henry Ward Beecher
You can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
THERE are joys which long to be ours.
Henry Ward Beecher
If men had wings and bore black feathers, Few of them would be clever enough to be crows.
Henry Ward Beecher

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
Genius unexerted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.
Henry Ward Beecher
Music cleanses the understanding inspires it, and lifts it into a realm which it would not reach if it were left to itself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Affliction comes to us all ...not to impoverish, but to enrich us, as the plough enriches the field to multiply our joy, as the seed, by planting, is multiplied a thousand-fold.
Henry Ward Beecher
Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Sophistry is the fallacy of argument.
Henry Ward Beecher
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
Children are unpredictable. You never know what inconsistency they are going to catch you in next.
Henry Ward Beecher
The dog is the god of frolic.
Henry Ward Beecher
God makes the life fertile by disappointments, as he makes the ground fertile by frosts.
Henry Ward Beecher
Private opinion is weak, but public opinion is almost omnipotent.
Henry Ward Beecher
Very few men acquire wealth in such a manner as to receive pleasure from it.
Henry Ward Beecher
