The deeper men go into life, the deeper is their conviction that this life is not all. It is an unfinished symphony. A day may round out an insect's life, and a bird or a beast needs no tomorrow. Not so with him who knows that he is related to God and has felt the power of an endless life.
Henry Ward BeecherPoverty is very good in poems but very bad in the house; very good in maxims and sermons but very bad in practical life.
Henry Ward BeecherIn this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.
Henry Ward BeecherA good digestion is as truly obligatory as a good conscience; pure blood is as truly a part of mankind as a pure faith; and a well ordered skin is the first condition of that cleanliness which is next to Godliness.
Henry Ward Beecher
