The methods by which men have met and conquered trouble, or been slain by it, are the same in every age.
Henry Ward BeecherThe reason that men are so slow to confess their vices is because they have not yet abandoned them.
Henry Ward BeecherThe glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
Henry Ward BeecherEvery green thing loves to die in bright colors. The vegetable cohorts march glowing out of the year in flaming dresses, as if to leave this earth were a triumph and not a sadness. It is never nature that is sad, but only we, that dare not look back on the past, and that have not its prophecy of the future in our bosoms.
