Undoubtedly we render our consciences callous by evil indulgences; but we cannot entirely subdue that still, small voice (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Where some think, and others do not, there is developed aristocracy. Where all have come to think we have democracy, the government of the people by themselves (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Providence is but another name for natural law. Natural law itself would go out in a minute if it were not for the divine thought that is behind it (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
One might as well attempt to calculate mathematically the contingent forms of the tinkling bits of glass in a kaleidoscope as to look through the tube of the future and foretell its pattern (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Laws and institutions are constantly tending to gravitate. Like clocks, they must be occasionally cleansed, and wound up, and set to true time (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
God puts the excess of hope in one man, in order that it may be a medicine to the man who is despondent (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
The body is like a piano, and happiness is like music. It is needful to have the instrument in good order (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Men of dissolute lives have little incentive to look forward to the hopes and glories of immortality. A due conception of these would be incompatible with such a life (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Not that which men do worthily, but that which they do successfully, is what history makes haste to record (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
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 (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Many men build as cathedrals were built, the part nearest the ground finished; but that part which soars toward heaven, the turrets and the spires, forever incomplete (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Books are the true metempsychosis, they are the symbol and presage of immortality. The dead men are scattered, and none shall find them. Behold they are here! They do but sleep (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
When there is love in the heart there are rainbows in the eyes, which cover every black cloud with gorgeous hues (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
What is the disposition which makes men rejoice in good bargains? There are few people who will not be benefited by pondering over the morals of shopping (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The imagination is the secret and harrow of civilization. It is the very eye of faith (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Thorough selfishness destroys or paralyzes enjoyment. A heart made selfish by the contest for wealth is like a citadel stormed in war, utterly shattered (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Next to the pastoral came the agricultural life. When you add to that the manufacturing phase of development, society begins to fill out, and needs but wings to fly, and commerce is its wings (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Age and youth look upon life from the opposite ends of the telescope; it is exceedingly long, it is exceedingly short (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
One should go to sleep as homesick passengers do, saying, perhaps in the morning we shall see the shore (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
We go to the grave of a friend saying, a man is dead; but angels throng about him, saying, a man is born (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
Give us that calm certainty of truth, that nearness to thee, that conviction of the reality of the life to come, which we shall need to bear us through the troubles of this (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
The history of governments through the ages is a history red, nay, lurid. Law represents the effort of men to organize society; governments, the efforts of selfishness to overthrow liberty (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
And when no longer we can see thee, may we reach out our hands, and find thee leading us through death to immortality and glory (Henry Ward Beecher Quotes)
