It is not work that kills men; it is worry. Work is healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is rust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction. Fear secretes acids; but love and trust are sweet juices.



Henry Ward Beecher, brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe and of Charles Beecher, was born 24 June 1813.
