The monkey is an organized sarcasm upon the human race.

In the morning, we carry the world like Atlas; at noon, we stoop and bend beneath it; and at night, it crushes us flat to the ground.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Life would be a perpetual flea...

Life would be a perpetual flea hunt if a man were obliged to run down all the innuendoes, inveracities, and insinuations and misrepresentations which are uttered against him.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.

Home should be an oratorio of the memory, singing to all our after life melodies and harmonies of old-remembered joy.

Coming to the Bible through commentaries is much like looking at a landscape through garret windows, over which generations of unmolested spiders have spun their webs.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Sink the Bible to the bottom o...

Sink the Bible to the bottom of the ocean, and still man's obligations to God would be unchanged. He would have the same path to tread, only his lamp and guide would be gone; the same voyage to make, but his chart and compass would be overboard!

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When our children die, we drop...

When our children die, we drop them into the unknown, shuddering with fear. We know that they go out from us, and we stand, and pity, and wonder. If we receive news, that a hundred thousand dollars had been left them by some one dying, we should be thrown into an ecstasy of rejoicing; but when they have gone home to God, we stand, and mourn, and pine, and wonder at the mystery of Providence.

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

Difficulties are God's errands...

Difficulties are God's errands; and when we are sent upon them, we should esteem it a proof of God's confidence,

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The little troubles and worrie...

The little troubles and worries of life may be as stumbling blocks in our way, or we may make them stepping-stones to a nobler character and to Heaven. Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

No one can deal with the heart...

No one can deal with the hearts of men unless he has the sympathy which is given by love.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Prayer covers the whole of man...

Prayer covers the whole of man's life. There is no thought, feeling, yearning, or desire, however low, trifling, or vulgar we may deem it, which if it affects our real interest or happiness, we may not lay before God and be sure of sympathy.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

His nature is such that our of...

His nature is such that our often coming does not tire him. The whole burden of the whole life of every man may be rolled on to God and not weary him, though it has wearied man.

He who hunts for flowers will finds flowers; and he who loves weeds will find weeds.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Flowers may beckon todwards us...

Flowers may beckon todwards us, but they speak todward heaven and God.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Flowers have an expression of ...

Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men or animals. Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some are pensive and diffident; others are plain, honest and upright, like the broad faced sunflower and the hollyhock.

The thistle is a prince. Let any man that has an eye for beauty take a view of the whole plant, and where will he see a more expressive grace and symmetry; and where is there a more kingly flower?

Nothing can be more airy and beautiful than the transparent seed-globe-a fairy dome of splendid architecture.
