The blossom cannot tell what ...

The blossom cannot tell what becomes of its odor, and no person can tell what becomes of his or her influence and example.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The diameter of each day is m...

The diameter of each day is measured by the stretch of thought - not by the rising and setting of the sun.

Do not be afraid of defeat. Y...

Do not be afraid of defeat. You are never so near victory as when you are defeated in a good cause.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is tonic in the things ...

There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.

Affliction comes to us all, n...

Affliction comes to us all, not to make us sad, but sober; not to make us sorry, but to make us wise; not to make us despondent, but by its darkness to refresh us as the night refreshes the day; not to impoverish, but to enrich us

The thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings.

Adversity, if for no other re...

Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere.

If you want your neighbor to know what Christ will do for him, let the neighbor see what Christ has done for you.

Theology is but a science of applied to God. As schools change theology must necessarily change. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas of truth are not. Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.

Men's best successes come after their disappointments.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy the sunlight today, mix good cheer with friends today, enjoy it and bless God for it. Do not look back on happiness -- or dream of it in the future. You are only sure of today; do not let yourself be cheated out of it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A house built on sand is, in ...

A house built on sand is, in fair weather, just as good as if builded on a rock. A cobweb is as good as the mightiest chain cable when there is no strain on it. It is trial that proves one thing weak and another strong.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A conservative young man has wound up his life before it was unreeled. We expect old men to be conservative but when a nation's young men are so, its funeral bell is already rung.

Beauty may be said to be God's trademark in creation.

Poverty is very good in poems...

Poverty is very good in poems but very bad in the house; very good in maxims and sermons but very bad in practical life.

Spreading Christianity abroad...

Spreading Christianity abroad is sometimes an excuse for not having it at home.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Our yearnings are homesicknes...

Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven; our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents. The soul's inarticulate moanings are the affections yearning for the Infinite, and having no one to tell them what it is that ails them.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Christianity works while infidelity talks. She feeds the hungry, clothes the naked, visits and cheers the sick, and seeks the lost, while infidelity abuses her and babbles nonsense and profanity. 'By their fruits ye shall know them.'

We only see in a lifetime a dozen faces marked with the peace of a contented spirit.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Our days are a kaleidoscope. ...

Our days are a kaleidoscope. Every instant a change takes place in the contents. New harmonies, new contrasts, new combinations of every sort. Nothing ever happens twice alike. The most familiar people stand each moment in some new relation to each other, to their work, to surrounding objects. The most tranquil house, with the most serene inhabitants, living upon the utmost regularity of system, is yet exemplifying infinite diversities.
