Here are some great quotes from Henry Ward Beecher.

God planted fear in the soul as truly as he planted hope and courage. It is a kind of bell or gong, which rings the mind into quick life and avoidance on the approach of danger. It is the soul’s signal for rallying.- Henry Ward Beecher

God made man to go by motives, and he will not go without them, any more than a boat without steam or a balloon without gas.- Henry Ward Beecher

The real man is one who always finds excuses for others, but never excuses himself. – Henry Ward Beecher

No physician ever weighed out medicine to his patients with half so much care and exactness as God weighs out to us every trial. Not one grain too much does He ever permit to be put in the scale.- Henry Ward Beecher

Faith is spiritualized imagination.- Henry Ward Beecher

Sink the Bible to the bottom of the ocean, and still man’s obligations to God would be unchanged. He would have the same path to tread, only his lamp and guide would be gone; the same voyage to make, but his chart and compass would be overboard!- Henry Ward Beecher

When God wanted sponges and oysters He made them and put one on a rock and the other in the mud. When He made man He did not make him to be a sponge or an oyster; He made him with feet and hands, and head and heart, and vital blood, and a place to use them and He said to him, “Go work.”- Henry Ward Beecher

It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.- Henry Ward Beecher
