Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.

A little library, growing every year, is an honorable part of a man's history. It is a man's duty to have books.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

If anyone, then, asks me the m...

If anyone, then, asks me the meaning of our flag, I say to him - it means just what Concord and Lexington meant; what Bunker Hill meant; which was, in short, the rising up of a valiant young people against an old tyranny to establish the most momentous doctrine that the world had ever known - the right of men to their own selves and to their liberties.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

At the bottom of every leaf-st...

At the bottom of every leaf-stem is a cradle, and in it is an infant germ; the winds will rock it, the birds will sing to it all summer long, but the next season it will unfold and go alone.

The beginning is the promise of the end.

There was never a person who did anything worth doing that he did not receive more than he gave.

Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

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;

There is no such thing as white lies; a lie is as black as a coalpit, and twice as foul.

Mirthfulness is in the mind and you cannot get it out. It is just as good in its place as conscience or veneration.

Fear is the soul's signal for rallying.

God makes the life fertile by disappointments, as he makes the ground fertile by frosts.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Thorough selfishness destroys ...

Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered.

Downright admonition, as a rule, is too blunt for the recipient.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

God washes the eyes by tears until they can behold the invisible land where tears shall come no more. O love! O affliction! ye are the guides that show us the way through the great airy space where our loved ones walked; and, as hounds easily follow the scent before the dew be risen, so God teaches us, while yet our sorrow is wet, to follow on and find our dear ones in heaven.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

In a great affliction there is...

In a great affliction there is no light either in the stars or in the sun; for when the inward light is fed with fragrant oil; there can be no darkness though the sun should go out. But when, like a sacred lamp in the temple, the inward light is quenched, there is no light outwardly, though a thousand suns should preside in the heavens.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Age and youth look upon life f...

Age and youth look upon life from the opposite ends of the telescope; it is exceedingly long,--it is exceedingly short.

We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.

It is the end of art to inoculate men with the love of nature.

There is not a single heart but has its moments of longing.
