Every fresh act of benevolenc...

Every fresh act of benevolence is the herald of deeper satisfaction; every charitable act a stepping-stone towards heaven.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It is the color which love we...

It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I would much rather fight pri...

I would much rather fight pride than vanity, because pride has a stand-up way of fighting. You know where it is. It throws its black shadow on you, and you are not at a loss where to strike. But vanity is that delusive, that insectiferous, that multiplied feeling, and men that fight vanities are like men that fight midges and butterflies. It is easier to chase them than to hit them.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

We should live and labor in o...

We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit. This is what we mean by progress.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

He that would look with conte...

He that would look with contempt on the pursuits of the farmer, is not worthy the name of a man.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The beginnings of moral enter...

The beginnings of moral enterprises in this world are never to be measured by any apparent growth. ... At length comes the sudden ripeness and the full success, and he who is called in at the final moment deems this success his own. He is but the reaper and not the labourer. Other men sowed and tilled and he but enters into their labours.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Every man carries a menagerie...

Every man carries a menagerie in himself; and, by stirring him up all around, you will find every sort of animal represented there.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The elms of New England! They...

The elms of New England! They are as much a part of her beauty as the columns of the Parthenon were the glory of its architecture.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

What place is so rugged and s...

What place is so rugged and so homely that there is no beauty; if you only have a sensibility to beauty?

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There are many troubles which...

There are many troubles which you cannot cure by the Bible and the hymn-book, but which you can cure by a good perspiration and a breath of fresh air.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

As plants take hold, not for ...

As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Thinking cannot be clear unti...

Thinking cannot be clear until it has had expression-we must write, or speak, or act our thoughts, or they will remain in half torpid form. Our feelings must have expression, or they will be as clouds, which, till they descend in rain, will never bring up fruit or flowers. So it is with all the inward feelings; expression gives them development-thought is the blossom; language is the opening bud; action the fruit behind it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

He that lives by the sight of...

He that lives by the sight of the eye may grow blind.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A tool is but the extension o...

A tool is but the extension of a man's hand, and a machine is but a complex tool. And he that invents a machine augments the power of a man and the well-being of mankind.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When a man has no longer any ...

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 1108 quotes

Wealth in activity--capital w...

Wealth in activity--capital with all its friction--is far safer than invested wealth lying dead.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Cant is the twin sister of hypocrisy.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The Bible stands alone in hum...

The Bible stands alone in human literature in its elevated conception of manhood, in character and conduct.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When a man's pride is subdued...

When a man's pride is subdued it's like the sides of Mount Aetna. It was terrible during the eruption, but when that is over and the lava is turned into soil, there are vineyards and olive trees which grow up to the top.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The imagination is the secret...

The imagination is the secret and marrow of civilization. It is the very eye of faith.
