Henry Ward Beecher

We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started.

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

The sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the wide world's joy.

I now know how to steal a watch when someone's wearing it. It's an excellent talent to have.

Never let a day pass that you will have cause to say, I will do better tomorrow.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.
