Other Henry Ward Beecher quotes:
A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
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.
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.
That energy which makes a child hard to manage is the energy which afterward makes him a manager of life.
He is the happiest man who is engaged in a business which tasks the most faculties of his mind.
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.
We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
