Maple-trees are the cows of trees (spring-milked).

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Many will say, "I can find Go...

Many will say, "I can find God without the help of the Bible, or church, or minister." Very well. Do so if you can. The Ferry Company would feel no jealousy of a man who should prefer to swim to New York. Let him do so if he is able, and we will talk about it on the other shore; but probably trying to swim would be the thing that would bring him quickest to the boat. So God would have no jealousy of a man's going to heaven without the aid of the Bible, or church, or minister; but let him try to do so, and it will be the surest way to bring him back to them for assistance.

It is the triumph of civilization that at last communities have obtained such a mastery over natural laws that they drive and control them. The winds, the water, electricity, all aliens that in their wild form were dangerous, are now controlled by human will, and are made useful servants.

Socially we are woven into the fabric of society, where every man is like one thread in a piece of cloth. No single thread has a right to say, "I will stay here no longer," and draw out. No man has a right to make a hole in the well-woven fabric of society.

The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Learning, to be of much use, ...

Learning, to be of much use, must have a tendency to spread itself among the common people.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I read for three things; first, to know what the world has done the last twenty-four hours, and is about to do today; second, for the knowledge that I specially want in my work; and third, for what will bring my mind into a proper mood.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

All the sobriety which' religion needs or requires is that which real earnestness produces.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Very few men acquire wealth i...

Very few men acquire wealth in such a manner as to receive pleasure from it. Just as long as there is the enthusiasm of the chase they enjoy it; but when they begin to look around, and think of settling down, they find that that part by which joy enters is dead in them. They have spent their lives in heaping up colossal piles of treasure, which stand, at the end, like the pyramids in the desert sands, holding only the dust of kings.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Christ is risen! There is life, therefore, after death! His resurrection is the symbol and pledge of universal resurrection!

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is a temperate zone in ...

There is a temperate zone in the mind, between luxurious indolence and exacting work; and it is to this region, just between laziness and labor, that summer reading belongs.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Wealth held by a class and us...

Wealth held by a class and used ambitiously becomes as despotic as an absolute monarchy, and has in its hands manners, customs, laws, institutions, and governments themselves.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Some sorrows are but footprin...

Some sorrows are but footprints in the snow, which the genial sun effaces, or, if it does not wholly efface, changes into dimples.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The word of God tends to make large-minded noble-minded men.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

You can imagine thistle-down ...

You can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Some of God's noblest sons, I think, will be selected from those that know how to take wealth, with all its temptations, and maintain godliness therewith. It is hard to be a saint standing in a golden niche.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A man's religion is himself. ...

A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious; if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.

There is an army of waiters in this world.

Give us that calm certainty of truth, that nearness to Thee, that conviction of the reality of the life to come, which we shall need to bear us through the troubles of this.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The glory of Christianity is ...

The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
