Many men are mere warehouses full of merchandise--the head, the heart, are stuffed with goods. . . . There are apartments in their souls which were once tenanted by taste, and love, and joy, and worship, but they are all deserted now, and the rooms are filled with earthy and material things.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

If you are idle, you are on the road to ruin; and there are few stopping-places upon it. It is rather a precipice than a road

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I know it is more agreeable to...

I know it is more agreeable to walk upon carpets than to lie upon dungeon floors, I know it is pleasant to have all the comforts and luxuries of civilization; but he who cares only for these things is worth no more than a butterfly, contented and thoughtless, upon a morning flower; and who ever thought of rearing a tombstone to a last summer's butterfly?

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Like a bird she seems to wear ...

Like a bird she seems to wear gay plumage unconsciously, as if it grew upon her.

The best stock a man can inves...

The best stock a man can invest in, is the stock of a farm; the best shares are plow shares; and the best banks are the fertile banks of a rural stream; the more these are broken the better dividends they pay.

The most efficacious secular book that ever was published in America is the newspaper.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Let parents who hate their off...

Let parents who hate their offspring rear them to hate labor, and to inherit riches; and before long they will be stung by every vice, racked by its poison, and damned by its penalty.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is tonic in the things that men do not love to hear. Free speech is to a great people what the winds are to oceans ... and where free speech is stopped miasma is bred, and death comes fast.

Find out what your temptations are, and you will find out largely what you are yourself.

I have known many an instance of a man writing a letter and forgetting to sign his name, but this is the only instance I have ever known of a man signing his name and forgetting to write the letter.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When God thought of mother, He must have laughed with satisfaction, and framed it quickly - so rich, so deep, so divine, so full of soul, power, and beauty, was the conception.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Business men are to be pitied ...

Business men are to be pitied who do not recognize the fact that the largest side of their secular business is benevolence. ... No man ever manages a legitimate business in this life without doing indirectly far more for other men than he is trying to do for himself.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Poverty is very good in poems ...

Poverty is very good in poems but very bad in the house; very good in maxims and sermons but very bad in practical life.

Someone calls biography the home aspect of history.

Next to victory, there is nothing so sweet as defeat, if only the right adversary overcomes you.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When we borrow trouble, and lo...

When we borrow trouble, and look forward into the future and see what storms are coming, and distress ourselves before they come, as to how we shall avert them if they ever do come, we lose our proper trustfulness in God. When we torment ourselves with imaginary dangers, or trials, or reverses, we have already parted with that perfect love which casteth out fear.
