Heaven Quotes
-
Thoughts create a new heaven, a new firmament, a new source of energy, from which new arts flow.
Paracelsus
-
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
-
A choir of angels glorified the hour, the vault of heaven was dissolved in fire. 'Father, why hast Thou forsaken me? Mother, I beg you, do not weep for me...'
Anna Akhmatova
-
Like Muslims we assume that God will judge us "on balance." If our good deeds outweigh our bad deeds, we will arrive safely in heaven. But, alas, if our evil deeds outweigh our good ones, we will suffer the wrath of God in hell. We may be "marred" by sin but in no wise devastated by it. We still have the ability to balance our sins with our own righteousness. This is the most monstrous lie of all.
R. C. Sproul
-
If people would but provide for eternity with the same solicitude and real care as they do for this life, they could not fail of heaven.
John Tillotson
-
The Old Testament teaches us that if we humble ourselves and pray, God will hear from heaven and heal our land. And the New Testament assures us that the fervent prayers of righteous men can make a difference.
David Jeremiah
-
If we knew exactly what animal life was like before the fall into sin and knew what nature was like before the law of entropy invaded it, we would already be living in heaven.
Walter Lang
-
So to live is heaven: To make undying music in the world, Breathing a beauteous order that controls With growing sway the growing life of man.
George Eliot
-
There is lasting kindness in Heaven when no kindness is found upon earth.
Lady Gregory
-
I'm an atheist, and so I have a philosophical problem with demonology and supporting the mythology of Satan, which involves God and heaven and hell and all that stuff. I'm not just a nonbeliever, I'm an antibeliever - I think it's a destructive philosophy.
David Cronenberg
-
'I don't need brains,' says the billionaire contemptuously. 'I'm brainy enough myself!' The broker cries out in desperation, 'What, in heaven's name, do you want?' 'Goodness,' is the answer.
Konrad Lorenz
-
I don't like to commit myself about heaven and hell - you see, I have friends in both places.
Mark Twain
-
Grown old in love from seven till seven times seven,
I oft have wished for Hell for ease from Heaven.
William Blake
-
I myself have never been enchanted by the dream of the white wedding, and, heaven help us, the expectation that this exquisitely catered event should be 'the happiest moment' of one's life.
Elizabeth Gilbert
-
For a while in my teens, I was sure I had it. It was about getting to heaven. If heaven existed and lasted forever, then a mere lifetime spent scrupulously following orders was a small investment for an infinite payoff. One day, though, I realized I was no longer a believer, and realizing that, I couldn't go back.
Alan Alda
-
No child should be brought up to suppose that its food and clothes come down from heaven or are miraculously conjured from empty space by papa. Loathsome as we have made the idea of duty (like the idea of work) we must habituate children to a sense of repayable obligation to the community for what they consume and enjoy, and inculcate the repayment as a point of honor.
George Bernard Shaw
