Henry Ward Beecher Sorrow Quotations

Sorrows, as storms, bring down the clouds close to the earth; sorrows bring heaven down close; and they are instruments of cleansing and purifying.

There are sorrows that are not painful, but are of the nature of some acids, and give piquancy and flavor to life.

Sorrow makes men sincere.

Some sorrows are but footprints in the snow, which the genial sun effaces, or, if it does not wholly efface, changes into dimples.

Sorrows are gardeners: they plant flowers along waste places, and teach vines to cover barren heaps.

Sorrow is Mount Sinai. If one will, one may go up and talk with God, face to face.
