There is not a person we employ who does not, like ourselves, desire recognition, praise, gentleness, forbearance, patience.
Henry Ward Beecher

It is not merely cruelty that leads men to love war, it is excitement.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man who cannot get angry is like a stream that cannot overflow, that is always turbid. Sometimes indignation is as good as a thunderstorm in summer, clearing and cooling the air.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Perverted pride is a great misfortune in men but pride in its original function, for which God created it, is indispensable to a proper manhood.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.

The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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.
