Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore? - Henry Ward Beecher

"Tears are often the telescope by which men see far into heaven."

"The soul without imagination is what an observatory would be without a telescope."

"The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things."

"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."

"Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven."
