He who olny does not appreciate floral beauty is to be pitied like any other man who is born inperfect. It is a misfortune not unlike blindness.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A very common flower adds gene...

A very common flower adds generosity to beauty. It gives joy to the poor, to the rude, and to the multitudes who could have no flowers were nature to charge a price for her blossoms.

No coffee can be good in the mouth that does not first send a sweet offering of odor to the nostrils.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

It is sometimes of God's mercy...

It is sometimes of God's mercy that men in the eager pursuit of worldly aggrandizement are baffled; for they are very like a train going down an inclined plane - putting on the brake is not pleasant, but it keeps the car on the track and from ruin.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Love is God's loaf; and this is that feeding for which we are taught to pray, 'Give us this day our daily bread.'

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

All the wide world is but the ...

All the wide world is but the husbandry of God for the development of the one fruit-man.

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.

If we would have anything of benefit, we must earn it, and earning it become shrewd, inventive, ingenious, active, enterprising.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

As plants take hold, not for t...

As plants take hold, not for the sake of staying, but only that they may climb higher, so it is with men. By every part of our nature we clasp things above us, one after another, not for the sake of remaining where we take hold, but that we may go higher.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Thinking cannot be clear until...

Thinking cannot be clear until it has had expression-we must write, or speak, or act our thoughts, or they will remain in half torpid form. Our feelings must have expression, or they will be as clouds, which, till they descend in rain, will never bring up fruit or flowers. So it is with all the inward feelings; expression gives them development-thought is the blossom; language is the opening bud; action the fruit behind it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A love of flowers would beget ...

A love of flowers would beget early rising, industry, habits of close observation, and of reading. It would incline the mind to notice natural phenomena, and to reason upon them. It would occupy the mind with pure thoughts, and inspire a sweet and gentle enthusiasm; maintain simplicity of taste; and ... unfold in the heart an enlarged, unstraightened, ardent piety.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

You are not called to be a can...

You are not called to be a canary in a cage. You are called to be an eagle, and to fly sun to sun, over continents.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

What I spent, I had; What I kept, I lost; What I gave, I have.

Nothing can be further apart than true humility and servility.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Nothing can compare in beauty,...

Nothing can compare in beauty, and wonder, and admirableness, and divinity itself, to the silent work in obscure dwellings of faithful women bringing their children to honor and virtue and piety.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Nothing marks the change from ...

Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

What if you have seen it befor...

What if you have seen it before, ten thousand times over? An apple tree in full blossom is like a message, sent fresh from heaven to earth, of purity and beauty.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Every man should be born again...

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Every man should be born again...

Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page
