Christianity is simply the ideal form of manhood represented to us by Jesus Christ.

Henry Ward Beecher
Jesus, Christianity, Form
Henry Ward Beecher, William Drysdale (1887). “Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit”

Men who stand on any other foundation than the rock Christ Jesus are like birds that build in trees by the side of rivers. The bird sings in the branches, and the river sings below, but all the while the waters are undermining the soil about the roots, till, in some unsuspected hour, the tree falls with a crash into the stream; and then its nest is sunk, its home is gone, and the bird is a wanderer.

Henry Ward Beecher

Henry Ward Beecher (1858). “Life Thoughts”, p.37

Henry Ward Beecher
Jesus, Promise, Christ
Henry Ward Beecher (1871). “The Plymouth pulpit. Sermons preached in Plymouth church, Brooklyn”, p.512

Henry Ward Beecher
Death, Jesus, Fall
Henry Ward Beecher (1872). “One Thousand Gems”, p.202

Religion would save a man; Christ would make him worth saving.

Henry Ward Beecher
Jesus, Men, Saving
Henry Ward Beecher (1871). “The Sermons of Henry Ward Beecher in Plymouth Church, Brooklyn”, p.236

A man's religion is himself. If he is right-minded toward God, he is religious; if the Lord Jesus Christ is his schoolmaster, then he is Christianly religious.

Henry Ward Beecher
Religious, Jesus, Men
