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.
Henry Ward BeecherThe call to religion is not a call to be better than your fellows, but to be better than yourself. Religion is relative to the individual.
Henry Ward BeecherRefinement is the lifting of one's self upwards from the merely sensual; the effort of the soul to etherealize the common wants and uses of life.
Henry Ward Beecher
