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

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

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

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 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

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

Expedients are for an hour, b...

Expedients are for an hour, but principles are for the ages. Just because the rains descend and winds blow, we cannot afford to build on shifting sands.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When leisure is a selfish lux...

When leisure is a selfish luxury, its very activity, when it stirs, is apt to be only a kind of indolence taking exercise, that it may the better digest its selfishness.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It is the end of art to inoculate men with the love of nature. But those who have a psssion for nature in the natural way, need no pictures nor gallereies. Spring is their designer, and the whole year their artist.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Living is death; dying is lif...

Living is death; dying is life. We are not what we appear to be. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that citizens; on this side orphans, on that children.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The slave labors, but with no...

The slave labors, but with no cheer - it is not the road to respectability, it will honor him with no citizens' trust, it brings no bread to his family, no grain to his garner, no leisure in after-days, no books or papers to his children. It opens no school-house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank, earns no acres. With sweat and toil and ignorance he consumes his life, to pour the earnings into channels from which he does no drink, into hands that never honor him. But perpetually rob and often torment.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

If you attempt to beat a man ...

If you attempt to beat a man down and to get his goods for less than a fair price, you are attempting to commit burglary, as much as though you broke into his shop to take the things without paying for them.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I used to think the Lord's Pr...

I used to think the Lord's Prayer was a short prayer; but as I live longer, and see more of life, I begin to believe there is no such thing as getting through it. If a man, in praying that prayer, were to be stopped by every word until he had thoroughly prayed it, it would take him a lifetime.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Religion would save a man; Christ would make him worth saving.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that take away attritions, that remove friction, that make the courses of life smooth, and the intercourse of men gentle!

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Good nature is often a mere matter of health.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Where human life needs most s...

Where human life needs most sympathy, where usually it is the most barren, there it is that Christ is more likely to be found than anywhere else.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is so much that is deaf...

There is so much that is deaf and dumb in man, and so much that is paralyzed, so much that is shrunken, that nothing short of a miraculous touch of re-creation can make them at death perfect beings.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Repentance is the turning of ...

Repentance is the turning of the soul from the way of midnight to the point of the coming sun.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A republican government in a ...

A republican government in a hundred points is weaker than an autocratic government; but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed — it has educated a race of men that are men.
