Henry Ward Beecher Broken Quotations

The head learns new things, but the heart forever practices old experiences.

All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot.

The best stock a man can invest in, is the stock of a farm; the best shares are plow shares; and the best banks are the fertile banks of a rural stream; the more these are broken the better dividends they pay.

All things in the natural world symboliZe God, yet none of them speak of him but in broken and imperfect words. High above all he sits, sublimer than mountains, grander than storms, sweeter than blossoms and tender fruits, nobler than lords, truer than parents, more loving than lovers. His feet tread the lowest places of the earth; but his head is above all glory, and everywhere he is supreme.

There is in youth a purity of character which, when once touched and defiled, can never be restored; a fringe more delicate than frost-work, and which, when torn and broken, can never be re-embroidered.

All men are tempted. There is no man that lives that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot.
