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 BeecherSometimes fear is wholesome and rational; it is well to swing fear as a mighty battle-axe over men's heads when no other motive will move them.
Henry Ward BeecherNever forget what a man has said to you when he was angry. If he has charged you with anything, you had better look it up.
Henry Ward BeecherConceited men often seem a harmless kind of men, who, by an overweening self-respect, relieve others from the duty of respecting them at all.
