Henry Ward Beecher foi um pastor, editor e escritor estadunidense,talvez o mais influente porta-voz do protestantismo de seu tempo. Aos domingos, multidões de até 2.500 pessoas se reuniam na Igreja Congregacional de Plymouth, no Brooklin, em Nova York, para ouvir o poderoso orador falar não só sobre Deus, mas também sobre sua oposição à escravidão e seu apoio ao sufrágio feminino, à teoria evolucionista e ao livre comércio. Seu prestígio só cresceu em 1863 quando, em férias na Inglaterra, fez uma série de palestras sobre a Guerra Civil em Londres, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow e Edimburgo; essas apresentações tiveram extraordinário efeito sobre o público britânico, ganhando simpatia para a causa da União. Beecher era um homem emotivo e carismático - Sinclair Lewis escreveu sobre ele em 1927: "Ele era uma combinação de santo Agostinho, Barnum e John Barrymore." -, mas sua reputação foi manchada quando seu amigo Theodore Tilton o proscessou em 1874 sob acusação de ter cometido adultério com sua mulher. O sensacional julgamento Tilton terminou em 1875, sem que o júri chegasse a um veredicto. Apesar disso, o clérigo continuou sendo uma figura social eminente pelo resto de sua vida. Suas obras incluem Seven Lectures to Young Men , Eyes an Ears , The Life of Jesus, the Christ e Evolution an Religion .

“Astronomers have built telescopes which can show myriads of stars unseen before; but when a man looks through a tear in his own eye, that is a lens which opens reaches in the unknown, and reveals orbs which no telescope, however skilfully constructed, could do; nay, which brings to view even the throne of God, and pierces the nebulous distance where are those eternal verities in which true life consists.”

“It is not painter or sculptor who is making himself most nobly immortal. It is he who is making true impressions upon the mind of man; frescoes for eternity, that will not shine out till the light of heaven reveals them; sculptures, not wrought in outward things, but in the inward nature and character of the soul.”

“Thou, Everlasting Strength, hast set Thyself forth to bear our burdens. May we bear Thy cross, and bearing that, find there is nothing else to bear; and touching that cross, find that instead of taking away our strength, it adds thereto. Give us faith for darkness, for trouble, for sorrow, for bereavement, for disappointment; give us a faith that will abide though the earth itself should pass away — a faith for living, a faith for tying.”

Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit (1887)

“Caution and conservatism are expected of old age; but when the young men of a nation are possessed of such a spirit, when they are afraid of the noise and strife caused by the new applications of the truth, Heaven save the land! Its funeral bell has already rung.”

Notes from Plymouth Pulpit (1859)

“It is a view of God that compensates every thing else, and enables the soul to rest in His bosom. How, when the child in the night screams with terror, hearing sounds that it knows not of, is that child comforted and put to rest? Is it by a philosophical explanation that the sounds were made by the rats in the partition? Is it by imparting entomological knowledge? No; it is by the mother taking the child in her lap, and singing sweetly to it, and rocking it. And the child thinks nothing of the explanation, but only of the mother.”

“For four thousand years the strong had been rushing on in the road of privilege and power, seeking greatness. Christ stood in the path, and said, " Ye seek greatness. Ye are not even in the way to it. Ye are going up, but the way to greatness is down. Let him who would be great be the love-servant of all."”

“It is one of the severest tests of friendship to tell your friend his faults. So to love a man that you cannot bear to see a stain upon him, and to speak painful truth through loving words, that is friendship.”
