Heaven Quotes

Like clouds which seem pavilions of the sun,
And are the playthings of the casual wind.

And bring to pass the thing that you least expect.

When folk have set before them a true purpose and then pursue it unmoved with bravery and courage, when they withstand with a strong heart every trial which Heaven sends upon them, then one day at the last Almighty Providence will yet grant them the fruits of their struggle and of their sacrifices.
