Henry Ward Beecher
It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
It is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success.
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low.
I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love.
Young love is a flame , very pretty, often very hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. The love of the older and disciplined heart is as coals, deep-burning, unquenchable.
Love is the river of life in the world.
What the heart has once owned and had, it shall never lose.
