More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher

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
God's men are better than the devil's men, and they ought to act as though they thought they were.
Henry Ward Beecher
Home should be an oratorio of the memory, singing to all our after life melodies and harmonies of old-remembered joy.
Henry Ward Beecher
If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.
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
A coat that is not used, the moths eat and a Christian who is hung up so that he shall not be tempted-the moths eat him and they have poor food at that.
Henry Ward Beecher
Death? Translated into the heavenly tongue, that word means life!
Henry Ward Beecher
