Quotes by Henry Ward Beecher
- I can forgive, but I cannot forget, is only another way of saying, I will not forgive. Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note - torn in two, and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
- I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
- In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
- In this world, full often, our joys are only the tender shadows which our sorrows cast.
- It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
- It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.
- It's not the work which kills people, it's the worry. It's not the revolution that destroys machinery it's the friction.
