Other Henry Ward Beecher quotes:
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.
You are never so near victory as when you are defeated in a good cause.
The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope.
The first hour of the morning is the rudder of the day.
Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul.
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.
He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.
Men's best successes come after their disappointments.
No man is such a conqueror, as the one that has defeated himself.
A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
