Other Henry Ward Beecher quotes:
No man is such a conqueror, as the one that has defeated himself.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Men's best successes come after their disappointments.
A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road.
We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
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.
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
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.
You and I do not see things as they are. We see things as we are.
