Our moral faculties must be placed highest, else they can no more flourish than could a plant growing under the shade and drip of trees.
Henry Ward BeecherThat which distinguishes man from the brute is his power, in dealing with Nature, to milk her laws, and make them give forth their bounty.
Henry Ward BeecherWe pray for those who have ceased to pray. We pray for those that need prayer more than ever, that have fewer and fewer seasons even of thought, that grow hard with years, that are less and less troubled by sin, and that are more and more irreverent of religion. We pray for the children of Christian parents who sometimes weep at the memory of father and mother, but who never have thought of God.
Henry Ward Beecher
