Other Henry Ward Beecher quotes:
No man is such a conqueror, as the one that has defeated himself.
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.
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.
A man without ambition is worse than dough that has no yeast in it to raise it.
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.
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.
Books are the windows through which the soul looks out. A house without books is like a room without windows.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
He is the happiest man who is engaged in a business which tasks the most faculties of his mind.
He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
