A bird in a cage is not half a bird.

God is a being who gives everything but punishment in over measure.

God is the one great employer, thinker, planner, supervisor.

God wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.

God's sovereignty is not in His right hand; God's sovereignty is not in His intellect; God's sovereignty is in His love.

In the early ages men ruled by strength; now they rule by brain, and so long as there is only one man in the world who can think and plan, he will stand head and shoulders above him who cannot.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quicksands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Self-government by the whole p...

Self-government by the whole people is the teleologic idea. The republican form of government is the noblest and the best, as it is the latest.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is no part of government...

There is no part of government which cannot better suffer derangement than the ballot. If you strike the ballot with disease, it is heart disease.

The disciples found angels at the grave of Him they loved; and we should always find them too, but that our eyes are too full of tears for seeing.

It is not in the nature of true greatness to be exclusive and arrogant.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The great men of earth are the...

The great men of earth are the shadow men, who, having lived and died, now live again and forever through their undying thoughts. Thus living, though their footfalls are heard no more, their voices are louder than the thunder, and unceasing as the flow of tides or air.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

As ships meet at sea a moment ...

As ships meet at sea a moment together, when words of greeting must be spoken, and then away upon the deep, so men meet in this world; and I think we should cross no man's path without hailing him, and if he needs giving him supplies.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The morbid states of health, t...

The morbid states of health, the irritableness of disposition arising from unstrung nerves, the impatience, the crossness, the fault-finding of men, who, full of morbid influences, are unhappy themselves, and throw the cloud of their troubles like a dark shadow upon others, teach us what eminent duty there is in health.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Your honors here may serve you...

Your honors here may serve you for a time, as it were for an hour, but they will be of no use to you beyond this world. Nobody will have heard a word of your honors in the other life. Your glory, your shame, your ambitions, and all the treasures for which you push hard and sacrifice much will be like wreaths of smoke. For these things, which you mostly seek, and for which you spend your life only tarry with you while you are on this side of the flood.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is always work, and tools to work withal, for those, who will.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Love is the river of life in t...

Love is the river of life in this world. Think not that ye know it who stand at the little tinkling rill, the first small fountain. Not until you have gone through the rocky gorges, and not lost the stream; not until you nave gone through the meadow, and the stream has widened and deepened until fleets could ride on its bosom; not until beyond the meadow you have come to the unfathomable ocean, and poured your treasures into its depths--not until then can you know what love is.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Love without faith is as bad a...

Love without faith is as bad as faith without love.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The great lever by which to ra...

The great lever by which to raise and save the world is the unbounded love and mercy of God.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There can be no barrenness in ...

There can be no barrenness in full summer. The very sand will yield something. Rocks will have mosses, and every rift will have its wind-flower, and every crevice a leaf; while from the fertile soil will be reared a gorgeous troop of growths, that will carry their life in ten thousand forms, but all with praise to God. And so it is when the soul knows its summer. Love redeems its weakness, clothes its barrenness, enriches its poverty, and makes its very desert to bud and blossom as the rose.
