Sophistry is the fallacy of argument.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one ...

Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Sorrows, as storms, bring down...

Sorrows, as storms, bring down the clouds close to the earth; sorrows bring heaven down close; and they are instruments of cleansing and purifying.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There are sorrows that are not painful, but are of the nature of some acids, and give piquancy and flavor to life.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

The soul is a temple; and God ...

The soul is a temple; and God is silently building it by night and by day. Precious thoughts are building it; disinterested love is building it; all-penetrating faith is building it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There are some men's souls that are so thin, so almost destitute of what is the true idea of soul, that were not the guardian angels so keen-sighted, they would altogether overlook them.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

There is nothing that is so wo...

There is nothing that is so wonderfully created as the human soul. There is something of God in it. We are infinite in the future, though we are finite in the past.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

A man is a fool who sits looking backward from himself in the past. Ah, what shallow, vain conceit there is in man! Forget the things that are behind. That is not where you live. Your roots are not there. They are in the present; and you should reach up into the other life.

A cobweb is as good as the mightiest cable when there is strain upon it.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

We know much of a writer by his style. An open and imperious disposition is shown in short sentences, direct and energetic. A secretive and proud mind is cold and obscure in style. An affectionate and imaginative nature pours out luxuriantly, and blossoms all over with ornament.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Not that which men do worthily...

Not that which men do worthily, but that which they do successfully, is what history makes haste to record.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Success surely comes with cons...

Success surely comes with conscience in the long run, other things being equal. Capacity and fidelity are commercially profitable qualities.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

We are never ripe till we have...

We are never ripe till we have been made so by suffering.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Happy is the man who has that ...

Happy is the man who has that in his soul which acts upon the dejected as April airs upon violet roots. Gifts from the hand are silver and gold, but the heart gives that which neither silver nor gold can buy. To be full of goodness, full of cheerfulness, full of sympathy, full of helpful hope, causes a man to carry blessings of which he is himself as unconscious as a lamp is of its own shining. Such a one moves on human life as stars move on dark seas to bewildered mariners; as the sun wheels, bringing all the seasons

When a man can look upon the simple wild-rose, and feel no pleasure, his taste has been corrupted.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Theology is but a science of applied to God. As schools change theology must necessarily change. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas of truth are not. Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Before men we stand as opaque ...

Before men we stand as opaque bee-hives. They can see the thoughts go in and out of us; but what work they do inside of a man they cannot tell. Before God we are as glass bee-hives, and all that our thoughts are doing within us he perfectly sees and understands.

Henry Ward Beecher 1108 quotes

Thinking is creating with God,...

Thinking is creating with God, as thinking is writing with the ready writer; and worlds are only leaves turned over in the process of composition, about his throne.

Titles are too 'thin' for the nineteenth century.

The religion that fosters intolerance needs another Christ to die for it.
