Weak minds may be injured by novel-reading; but sensible people find both amusement and instruction therein.

There is a patience that cackles. There are a great many virtues that are hen-like. They are virtue, to be sure; but everybody in the neighborhood has to know about them.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

You cannot play the hypocrite ...

You cannot play the hypocrite before God; and to obtain pardon you must cease to sin, as well as to be exercised by a spirit of repentance.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

But there have been human hear...

But there have been human hearts, constituted just like ours, for six thousand years. The same stars rise and set upon this globe that rose upon the plains of Shinar or along the Egyptian Nile and the same sorrows rise and set in every age.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There have been many men who l...

There have been many men who left behind them that which hundreds of years have not worn out. The earth has Socrates and Plato to this day. The world is richer yet by Moses and the old prophets than by the wisest statesmen. We are indebted to the past. We stand in the greatness of ages that are gone rather than in that of our own. But of how many of us shall it be said that, being dead, we yet speak?

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

John Wesley quaintly observed ...

John Wesley quaintly observed that the road to heaven is a narrow path, not intended for wheels, and that to ride in a coach here and to go to heaven hereafter, was a happiness too much for man.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

True politeness is the spirit ...

True politeness is the spirit of benevolence showing itself in a refined way. It is the expression of good-will and kindness. It promotes both beauty in the man who possesses it, and happiness in those who are about him. It is a religious duty, and should be a part of religious training.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

I think half the troubles for ...

I think half the troubles for which men go slouching in prayer to God are caused by their intolerable pride. Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges. We let our blessings get mouldy, and then call them curses.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

When flowers are full of heave...

When flowers are full of heaven-descended dews, they always hang their heads; but men hold theirs the higher the more they receive, getting proud as they get full.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Reason can tell how love affects us, but cannot tell what love is.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Reason is a permanent blessing...

Reason is a permanent blessing of God to the soul. Without it there can be no large religion.

Men must read for amusement as well as for knowledge.

Reading is a dissuasion from immorality. Reading stands in the place of company.

Refinement is the lifting of one's self upwards from the merely sensual; the effort of the soul to etherealize the common wants and uses of life.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Refinement that carries us away from our fellow-men is not God's refinement.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious; if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

All the sobriety which' religion needs or requires is that which real earnestness produces.

All true religion must stand on true morality.

By religion I mean perfected manhood,--the quickening of the soul by the influence of the Divine Spirit.

Of all joyful, smiling, ever-laughing experiences, there are none like those which spring from true religion.
