The reason that men are so slow to confess their vices is because they have not yet abandoned them.
Henry Ward BeecherThe way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.
Henry Ward BeecherThe best stock a man can invest in, is the stock of a farm; the best shares are plow shares; and the best banks are the fertile banks of a rural stream; the more these are broken the better dividends they pay.
