Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher
Image
The unthankful heart... discovers no mercies but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth.
Henry Ward Beecher
Image
