Henry Ward Beecher Quotes:
Ocupation: Minister
Life: June 24, 1813 - March 8, 1887
Birthday: June 24
Death: March 8
There is a great deal more correctness of thought respecting manhood in bodily things than in moral things. For men's ideas of manhood shape themselves as the tower and spire of cathedrals do, that stand broad at the bottom, but grow tapering as they rise, and end, far up, in the finest lines, and in an evanishing point. Where they touch the ground they are most, and where they reach to the heaven they are least.
