Henry Ward Beecher

The humblest individual exerts some influence, either for good or evil, upon others.

A book is good company. It is full of conversation without loquacity. It comes to your longing with full instruction, but pursues you never.

No matter what looms ahead, if you can eat today, enjoy today, mix good cheer with friends today enjoy it and bless God for it.

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

Good nature is worth more than knowledge, more than money, more than honor, to the persons who possess it.
