Henry Ward Beecher Quotations | Page 2

Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night; a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more bewitching than either.

Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven.

See that each hour's feelings, and thoughts and actions are pure and true; then your life will be also.

Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.

Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.

Remember God's bounty in the year. String the pearls of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!

Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.

Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.

It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hard put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction.
