Other Henry Ward Beecher quotes:
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
It is not what we read, but what we remember, that makes us learned. It is not what we intend, but what we do that makes us useful. It is not a few faint wishes, but a life long struggle, that makes us valiant.
You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.
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.
Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength.
He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Don't look where you fall, but where you slipped.
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.
A man's true estate of power and riches is to be in himself: not in his dwelling; not in his position; not in his external relations, but in his own essential character.
