Love is God's loaf; and this is that feeding for which we are taught to pray, "Give us this day our daily bread."
Henry Ward BeecherThe Divine mind does not think for us, or inspite of us, but works in us to think, and to will, and to do.
Henry Ward BeecherMen think God is destroying them because he is tuning them. The violinist screws up the key till the tense cord sounds the concert pitch; but it is not to break it, but to use it tunefully, that he stretches the string upon the musical rack.
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
