We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as a seed may go to the next generation as blossom, and what came to us as blossom, may go to them as fruit.
This is what we mean by progress.
—Henry Ward Beecher

Why do birds sing?
Because the song is in them, and if they did not let it forth, they would split; it must come out.
It is the spontaneity and the urgency of this feeling in them that impels their utterance.
Why should men work?
Because their hearts want some outlet to give expression to the feeling of earnest sympathy that is in them.
Where a man has a strong and large benevolence, he will always be busy and pleasantly busy.
—Henry Beecher
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.
—Henry Ward Beecher
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into.
Henry Beecher, Life Thoughts, 1858
Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
Henry Ward Beecher
