The first hour of the morning...

The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day. It is a blessed baptism which gives the first waking thoughts into the bosom of God.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

All our other faculties seem ...

All our other faculties seem to have the brown touch of earth upon them, but the imagination carries the very livery of heaven, and is God's self in the soul.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

He will see most without who ...

He will see most without who has the best eyes within; and he who only sees with his bodily organs sees but the surface.

Adversity is the mint in which God stamps upon man his image and superscription.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Nothing marks the change from...

Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.

There is an equator that runs just under the nose: all that live below the equator are animals; all that live above it are men.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The sun does not shine for a ...

The sun does not shine for a few trees, and flowers, but for the wide world's joy. The lonely pine on the mountain-top waves its sombre boughs and cries, 'Thou art my sun.' And the little meadow violet lifts its cup of blue, and whispers with its perfumed breath, 'Thou art my sun.' And the grain in a thousand fields rustles in the wind, and makes answer, 'Thou art my sun.' So God sits effulgent in heaven, not for a favored few, but for the universe of life; and there is no creature so poor or so low that he may not look up with childish confidence and say, 'My Father, Thou art mine.

He who only does not appreciate floral beauty is to be pitied like any other man who is born imperfect. It is a misfortune not unlike blindness.

God's providence is on the side of clear heads.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Amid the discords of this lif...

Amid the discords of this life, it is blessed to think of heaven, where God draws after him an everlasting train of music; for all thoughts are harmonious and all feelings vocal, and so there is round about his feet eternal melody.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I know it is more agreeable to walk upon carpets than to lie upon dungeon floors, I know it is pleasant to have all the comforts and luxuries of civilization; but he who cares only for these things is worth no more than a butterfly, contented and thoughtless, upon a morning flower; and who ever thought of rearing a tombstone to a last summer's butterfly?

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

An ambition which has conscie...

An ambition which has conscience in it will always be a laborious and faithful engineer, and will build the road, and bridge the chasms between itself and eminent success by the most faithful and minute performances of duty.

Good nature is often a mere matter of health.

Public sentiment is to public officers what water is to the wheel of the mill.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Where human life needs most sympathy, where usually it is the most barren, there it is that Christ is more likely to be found than anywhere else.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is so much that is deaf...

There is so much that is deaf and dumb in man, and so much that is paralyzed, so much that is shrunken, that nothing short of a miraculous touch of re-creation can make them at death perfect beings.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that take away attritions, that remove friction, that make the courses of life smooth, and the intercourse of men gentle!

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

What is the disposition which makes men rejoice in good bargains? There are few people who will not be benefited by pondering over the morals of shopping.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Repentance is the turning of the soul from the way of midnight to the point of the coming sun.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A republican government in a hundred points is weaker than an autocratic government; but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed — it has educated a race of men that are men.
