He is the happiest man who is engaged in a business which tasks the most faculties of his mind.
Henry Ward BeecherA gamester, as such, is the cool, calculating, essential spirit of concentrated, avaricious selfishness.
Henry Ward BeecherYou can imagine thistle-down so light that when you run after it your running motion would drive it away from you, and that the more you tried to catch it the faster it would fly from your grasp. And it should be with every man, that, when he is chased by troubles, they, chasing, shall raise him higher and higher.
Henry Ward Beecher
