Success is full of promise till one gets it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
Henry Ward BeecherAs flowers carry dewdrops, trembling on the edges of the petals, and ready to fall at the first waft of wind or brush of bird, so the heart should carry its beaded words of thanksgiving; and at the first breath of heavenly flavor, let down the shower, perfumed with the heart's gratitude.
Henry Ward BeecherIt is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and joy--these three. It is the light in the window of the face by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend that it is at home and waiting.
Henry Ward BeecherA man that has lost moral sense is like a man in battle with both of his legs shot off: he has nothing to stand on.
