More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Someone calls biography the home aspect of history.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no such thing as preaching patience into people, unless the sermon is so long that they have to practice it while they hear. No man can learn patience except by going out into the hurlyburly world, and taking life just as it blows. Patience is but lying to, and riding out the gale.
Henry Ward Beecher
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
Henry Ward Beecher
The beginning is the promise of the end.
Henry Ward Beecher
He will see most without who has the best eyes within and he who only sees with his bodily organs sees but the surface.
Henry Ward Beecher
Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.
Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder.
Henry Ward Beecher
Though cares and sorrows e'er must come, Though heart be rent, I know that God will give me strength, When mine is spent.
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
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
No man is sane who does not know how to be insane on proper occasions.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nature holds an immense uncollected debt over every man's head.
Henry Ward Beecher
The dog was created specially for children. He is a god of frolic.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some men think that the globe is a sponge that God puts into their hands to squeeze for their own garden or flower-pot.
