More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
Henry Ward Beecher
Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents. The soul's inarticulate moanings are the affections yearning for the Infinite, and having no one to tell them what it is that ails them.
Henry Ward Beecher
Men must read for amusement as well as for knowledge.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is a higher exhibition of Christian manliness to be able to bear trouble than to get rid of it.
Henry Ward Beecher
We steal if we touch tomorrow. It is God's.
Henry Ward Beecher
No grief has a right to immortality. That ground belongs to joy, to hope, to faith.
Henry Ward Beecher
Let the GRATEFUL HEART sweep through the day that it may recognize in every hour some sweet blessing.
Henry Ward Beecher
The mere wit is only a human bauble. He is to life what bells are to horses-not expected to draw the load, but only to jingle while the horses draw.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you are idle, you are on the road to ruin and there are few stopping-places upon it. It is rather a precipice than a road
Henry Ward Beecher
You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are but you must approach each man by the right door.
Henry Ward Beecher
Never excuse yourself.
Henry Ward Beecher
Anger is a bow that will shoot sometimes where another feeling will not.
Henry Ward Beecher
So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our heads back on the bosom of Christ, and quietly fall asleep.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is not in the nature of true greatness to be exclusive and arrogant.
Henry Ward Beecher
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is not a heart but has its moments of longing, yearning for something better nobler holier than it knows now.
Henry Ward Beecher
While a man is stringing a harp, he tries the strings, not for music, but for construction. When it is finished it shall be played for melodies. God is fashioning the human heart for future joy. He only sounds a string here and there to see how far His work has progressed.
Henry Ward Beecher
It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.
Henry Ward Beecher
A house built on sand is, in fair weather, just as good as if builded on a rock. A cobweb is as good as the mightiest chain cable when there is no strain on it. It is trial that proves one thing weak and another strong.
Henry Ward Beecher
No church can be prospered in which all the ministration comes from the pulpit.
