All things in the natural world symbolize God, yet none of them speak of Him but in broken and imperfect words.
Henry Ward BeecherSuccess surely comes with conscience in the long run, other things being equal. Capacity and fidelity are commercially profitable qualities.
Henry Ward BeecherThe methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age. Some have floated on the sea, and trouble carried them on its surface as the sea carries cork. Some have sunk at once to the bottom as foundering ships sink. Some have run away from their own thoughts. Some have coiled themselves up into a stoical indifference. Some have braved the trouble, and defied it. Some have carried it as a tree does a wound, until by new wood it can overgrow and cover the old gash.
