God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope or courage. Pear is a kind of bell, or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance upon the approach of danger. It is the soul's signal for rallying.
Henry Ward BeecherSuccess is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
Henry Ward BeecherThe way to avoid evil is not by maiming our passions, but by compelling them to yield their vigor to our moral nature.
Henry Ward Beecher
