God's sovereignty is not in His right hand; God's sovereignty is not in His intellect; God's sovereignty is in His love.
Henry Ward BeecherIn this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
Henry Ward BeecherTheology is but a science of applied to God. As schools change theology must necessarily change. Truth is everlasting, but our ideas of truth are not. Theology is but our ideas of truth classified and arranged.
Henry Ward BeecherThere have been many men who left behind them that which hundreds of years have not worn out. The earth has Socrates and Plato to this day. The world is richer yet by Moses and the old prophets than by the wisest statesmen. We are indebted to the past. We stand in the greatness of ages that are gone rather than in that of our own. But of how many of us shall it be said that, being dead, we yet speak?
Henry Ward Beecher
