Next to victory, there is nothing so sweet as defeat, if only the right adversary overcomes you.
Henry Ward BeecherThe worst prison is not of stone. It is of a throbbing heart, outraged by an infamous life.
Henry Ward BeecherBefore men we stand as opaque bee-hives. They can see the thoughts go in and out of us; but what work they do inside of a man they cannot tell. Before God we are as glass bee-hives, and all that our thoughts are doing within us he perfectly sees and understands.
