More quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
Of all escape mechanisms, death is the most efficient.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is no such thing as white lies a lie is as black as a coalpit, and twice as foul.
Henry Ward Beecher
There is not a single heart but has its moments of longing.
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
What could make me love my fellow Christian better than to see that God loves us all as we were all one soul?
Henry Ward Beecher
Men strengthen each other in their faults. Those who are alike associate together, repeat the things which all believe, defend and stimulate their common faults of disposition, and each one receives from the others a reflection of his own egotism.
Henry Ward Beecher
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
Henry Ward Beecher
We are apt to believe in Providence so long as we have our own way but if things go awry, then we think, if there is a God, he is in heaven, and not on earth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Nowhere else can one find so miscellaneous, so various, an amount of knowledge as is contained in a good newspaper.
Henry Ward Beecher
Thinking is creating with God, as thinking is writing with the ready writer and worlds are only leaves turned over in the process of composition, about his throne.
Henry Ward Beecher
Some people think black is the color of heaven, and that the more they can make their faces look like midnight, the more evidence they have of grace. But God, who made the sun and the flowers, never sent me to proclaim to you such a lie as that.
Henry Ward Beecher
O Lord God, we pray that we may be inspired to nobleness of life in the least things. May we dignify all our daily life. May we set such a sacredness upon every part of our life, that nothing shall be trivial, nothing unimportant, and nothing dull, in the daily round.
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
Nowhere on the globe do men live so well as in America, or grumble so much.
Henry Ward Beecher
Badgered, snubbed and scolded on the one hand petted, flattered and indulged on the other-it is astonishing how many children work their way up to an honest manhood in spite of parents and friends. Human nature has an element of great toughness in it.
Henry Ward Beecher
It is one of the worst effects of prosperity to make a man a vortex instead of a fountain so that, instead of throwing out, he learns only to draw in.
Henry Ward Beecher
Of all the music that reached farthest into heaven, it is the beating of a loving heart.
Henry Ward Beecher
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
Reading is a dissuasion from immorality. Reading stands in the place of company.
Henry Ward Beecher
Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
Henry Ward Beecher
