Henry Ward Beecher

"The dog is the god of frolic."

"The unthankful heart... Discovers no mercies; but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!"

"A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good."

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."

"Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven."

"It is defeat that turns bone to flint it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle it is defeat that makes men invincible. Do not then be afraid of defeat. You are never so near to victory as when defeated in a good cause."

"The unthankful heart discovers no mercies; but the thankful heart will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings."

"You never know till you try to reach them how accessible men are but you must approach each man by the right door."

"Victories that are cheap are cheap. Those only are worth having which come as the result of hard fighting."

"The babe at first feeds upon the mother's bosom, but it is always on her heart."
