Henry Ward Beecher 
Proverbs From Plymouth Pulpit 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Nature can work roughly and coarsely in generalities, but She wants man’s intellect and will to interpret what she does. God has quilted the earth with beauty, and combed the hair of millions of mosses, reeds, and grasses, and every day fills them with jewels, and yet nothing is fop pish or garish!
