Heaven Quotes
-
I am concerned, rather, that there should not be more things dreamt of in my philosophy than there actually are in heaven and earth.

Your petitioners are Atheists and they define their lifestyle as follows. An Atheists loves himself and his fellow man instead of a god. An Atheist thinks that heaven is something for which we should work for now - here on earth- for all men together to enjoy.

Within your magic web of hair, lies furledThe fire and splendour of the ancient world;The dire gold of the comet's wind-blown hair;The songs that turned to gold the evening airWhen all the stars of heaven sang for joy.

Heaven is for every one, if you're old or if you're young
Baby, you can't kiss the past goodbye
When I saw her in the night cafe, just near by the Champs-Elysees
She looked so sad, she breaks my heart
She told me, she will take the car and drive to an unknown star
She falls in love with someone else, not me
And I know my tears will never dry, when I heard her say just, goodbye
I never said she's guilty, guilty for my love.
Dieter Bohlen

Let us not forget that the sunlight is God's smile of benediction; that the sunshine is Heaven's light and life and glory, the true Shekinah, the real presence with which the temple needs most to be filled; that the cooling breeze is the breath of heaven, a veritable messenger of life, carrying healing on its wings.
John Harvey Kellogg

Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country's ruin!
