Image
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
Image
Fear secretes acids but love and trust are sweet juices.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Repentance is the turning of the soul from the way of midnight to the point of the coming sun.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
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
Image
Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
God bless the good-natured, for they bless everybody else.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead,--dead in trespasses and sin of blear-eyed vanity.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Love is ownership. We own whom we love. The universe is God's because He loves.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Life is a plant that grows out of death.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Some men are, in regard to ridicule, like tin-roofed buildings in regard to hail: all that hits them bounds rattling off not a stone goes through.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Death is the Christian's vacation morning. School is out. It is time to go home.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
There is not a person we employ who does not, like ourselves, desire recognition, praise, gentleness, forbearance, patience.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Truthfulness is godliness.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
We rejoice in God since he has taught us that every thing which is true in us, is but a faint expression of what is in him. And thus all our joys become to us the echo of higher joys, and our very life is as a dream of that nobler life, to which we shall awaken when we die.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A man without ambition is worse than dough that has no yeast in it to raise it.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
Of all man's works of art, a cathedral is greatest. A vast and majestic tree is greater than that.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
And now we beseech of Thee that we may have every day some such sense of God's mercy and of the power of God about us, as we have of the fullness of the light of heaven before us.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
If a boy is not trained to endure and to bear trouble, he will grow up a girl and a boy that is a girl has all a girl's weakness without any of her regal qualities. A woman made out of a woman is God's noblest work a woman made out of a man is His meanest.
