A bird in a cage is not half a bird.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Precise knowledge is the only...

Precise knowledge is the only true knowledge, and he who does not teach exactly, does not teach at all.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The way to avoid evil is not ...

The way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Good men are not those who no...

Good men are not those who now and then do a good act, but men who join one good act to another.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Your honors here may serve yo...

Your honors here may serve you for a time, as it were for an hour, but they will be of no use to you beyond this world. Nobody will have heard a word of your honors in the other life. Your glory, your shame, your ambitions, and all the treasures for which you push hard and sacrifice much will be like wreaths of smoke. For these things, which you mostly seek, and for which you spend your life only tarry with you while you are on this side of the flood.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is no part of governmen...

There is no part of government which cannot better suffer derangement than the ballot. If you strike the ballot with disease, it is heart disease.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Thou, Everlasting Strength, h...

Thou, Everlasting Strength, hast set Thyself forth to bear our burdens. May we bear Thy cross, and bearing that; find there is nothing else to bear; and touching that cross, find that instead of taking away our strength, it adds thereto. Give us faith for darkness, for trouble, for sorrow, for bereavement, for disappointment; give us a faith that will abide though the earth itself should pass away--a faith for living, a faith for dying.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Many men want wealth,--not a ...

Many men want wealth,--not a competence alone, but a live-story competence. Everything subserves this; and religion they would like as a sort of lightning-rod to their houses, to ward off by and by the bolts of Divine wrath.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

What we call wisdom is the re...

What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a mentor, a teacher, a guidepost, a counsellor.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

God wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.

Now, men think, with regard to their conduct, that, if they were to lift themselves up gigantically and commit some crashing sin, they should never be able to hold up their heads; but they will harbor in their souls little sins, which are piercing and eating them away to inevitable ruin.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A cup of coffee - real coffee...

A cup of coffee - real coffee - home-browned, home ground, home made, that comes to you dark as a hazel-eye, but changes to a golden bronze as you temper it with cream that never cheated, but was real cream from its birth, thick, tenderly yellow, perfect!

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Victories are easy and cheap....

Victories are easy and cheap. The only victories worth anything are those achieved through hard work and dedication.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

So we fall asleep in Jesus. We have played long enough at the games of life, and at last we feel the approach of death. We are tired out, and we lay our heads back on the bosom of Christ, and quietly fall asleep.

Customs represent the experience of mankind.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Of all joyful, smiling, ever-...

Of all joyful, smiling, ever-laughing experiences, there are none like those which spring from true religion.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

All things in the natural wor...

All things in the natural world symbolize God, yet none of them speak of him but in broken and imperfect words. High above all he sits, sublimer than mountains, grander than storms, sweeter than blossoms and tender fruits, nobler than lords, truer than parents, more loving than lovers. His feet tread the lowest places of the earth; but his head is above all glory, and everywhere he is supreme.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is no true and abiding morality that is not founded in religion.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A boy is a piece of existence...

A boy is a piece of existence quite separate from all things else, and deserves separate chapters in the natural history of men.
