A helping word to one in troub...

A helping word to one in trouble is often like a switch on a railroad track-an inch between wreck and smooth-rolling prosperity.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I never knew an early-rising, ...

I never knew an early-rising, hard-working, prudent man, careful of his earnings, and strictly honest who complained of bad luck.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Music cleanses the understanding;
inspires it, and lifts it into a realm
which it would not reach if it were left to itself.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

God sends experience to paint ...

God sends experience to paint men's portraits.

We ought to be ten times as hungry for knowledge as for food for the body.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Memory can glean, but can neve...

Memory can glean, but can never renew. It brings us joys faint as is the perfume of the flowers, faded and dried, of the summer that is gone.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Many yet are the secret truths...

Happiness is not the end of life: character is.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

O Lord God, we pray that we may be inspired to nobleness of life in the least things. May we dignify all our daily life. May we set such a sacredness upon every part of our life, that nothing shall be trivial, nothing unimportant, and nothing dull, in the daily round.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Caution and conservatism are e...

Caution and conservatism are expected of old age; but when the young men of a nation are possessed of such a spirit, when they are afraid of the noise and strife caused by the applications of the truth, heaven save the land! Its funeral bell has already rung.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

No man can tell if he is rich ...

No man can tell if he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The way to avoid evil is not b...

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

Do not give, as many rich men ...

Do not give, as many rich men do, like a hen that lays her eggs ...and then cackles.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

People may excite in themselves a glow of compassion, not by toasting their feet at the fire, and saying: 'Lord, teach me compassion,' but by going and seeking an object that requires compassion.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Affliction comes to us all, no...

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

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Grim care, moroseness, anxiety...

Grim care, moroseness, anxiety-all this rust of life ought to be scoured off by the oil of mirth. Mirth is God's medicine.

Mirth is God's medicine. Everybody ought to bathe in it.
