Henry Ward Beecher

A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a mentor, a teacher, a guidepost, a counsellor.

Henry Ward Beecher

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.

Henry Ward Beecher

A cunning man overreaches no one half as much as himself.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man is a great bundle of tools. He is born into this life without the knowledge of how to use them. Education is the process of learning their use.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man never has good luck who has a bad wife.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man that has lost moral sense is like a man in battle with both of his legs shot off: he has nothing to stand on.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man that is afraid is never a man.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man that puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be against him, is mightier than all of them.

Henry Ward Beecher

A man who does not know how to be angry, does not know how to be good. Now and then a man should be shaken to the core with indignation over things evil.
