In the early ages men ruled by strength; now they rule by brain, and so long as there is only one man in the world who can think and plan, he will stand head and shoulders above him who cannot.
Henry Ward BeecherThere are sorrows that are not painful, but are of the nature of some acids, and give piquancy and flavor to life.
Henry Ward BeecherI would rather speak the truth to ten men than blandishments and lying to a million. Try it, ye who think there is nothing in it! Try what it is to speak with God behind you, to speak so as to be only the arrow in the bow which the Almighty draws.
