A man's true estate of power and riches is to be in himself; not in his dwelling or position or external relations, but in his own essential character.

Very few men acquire wealth in such a manner as to receive pleasure from it.

Nothing is orderly till man takes hold of it. Everything in creation lies around loose.

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

If a man has come to that poin...

If a man has come to that point where he is no content that he says; I do not want to know any more, or do any more or be any more, he is in a state in which he ought to be changed into a mummy.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself, and a mean man, by one lower than himself.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Badgered, snubbed and scolded ...

Badgered, snubbed and scolded on the one hand; petted, flattered and indulged on the other-it is astonishing how many children work their way up to an honest manhood in spite of parents and friends. Human nature has an element of great toughness in it.

A man that has lost moral sense is like a man in battle with both of his legs shot off: he has nothing to stand on.

A man that puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be against him, is mightier than all of them.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Our moral faculties must be placed highest, else they can no more flourish than could a plant growing under the shade and drip of trees.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A thoughtful mind, when it sees a Nation's flag, sees not the flag only, but the Nation itself; and whatever may be its symbols, its insignia, he reads chiefly in the flag the Government, the principles, the truths, the history which belongs to the Nation that sets it forth.

To love I must have something I can put my arms around.

Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices.

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

If men had wings and bore black feathers, Few of them would be clever enough to be crows.

Interest works night and day in fair weather and in foul. It gnaws at a man's substance with invisible teeth.

Nothing dies so hard, or rallies so often as intolerance.
