What a mother sings to the cradle goes all the way down to the coffin.

Henry Ward Beecher

What I spent, I had; What I kept, I lost; What I gave, I have.

Henry Ward Beecher

What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.

Henry Ward Beecher

Where all of the man is what property he owns, it does not take long to annihilate him.

Henry Ward Beecher

Whoever makes home seem to the young dearer and more happy, is a public benefactor.

Henry Ward Beecher

You cannot sift out the poor from the community. The poor are indispensable to the rich.

Henry Ward Beecher

Young love is a flame; very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.

Henry Ward Beecher

Your greatest pleasure is that which rebounds from hearts that you have made glad.
