Heaven Quotes
-
God never meant that man should scale the Heavens
By strides of human wisdom. In his works,
Though wondrous, he commands us in his word
To seek him rather where his mercy shines.
William Cowper

The desire of love, Joy:The desire of life, Peace:The desire of the soul, Heaven:The desire of God ... a flame-white secret forever.
William Sharp

Grace alone makes the elect gracious; grace alone keeps them gracious; and the same grace alone will render them everlastingly glorious in the heaven of heavens.
Augustus Toplady
-
To every man, even though he be a slave, the light of heaven is sweet.
Euripides
-
In this way they went on, and on, and on-in the language of the story-books-until at last the village lights appeared before them, and the church spire cast a long reflection on the graveyard grass; as if it were a dial (alas, the truest in the world!) marking, whatever light shone out of Heaven, the flight of days and weeks and years, by some new shadow on that solemn ground.
Charles Dickens
-
It's all written out, you know. Everything is fate. All written out in Heaven, or written out in Hell.
Bill Roorbach
-
The distractions, the exhaustions, the savage noises, the demands of town life, are, for me, mortal enemies to thought, to sleep,and to study; its extremes of squalor and of splendor do not stimulate, but sadden me; certain phases of its society I profoundly value, but would sacrifice them to the heaven of country quiet, if I had to choose between.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
-
For all works and things, which are either commanded or forbidden by God and thus have been instituted by the supreme Majesty, are 'musts.' Nevertheless, no one should be dragged to them or away from them by the hair, for I can drive no man to heaven or beat him into it with a club.
Martin Luther
-
I really don't feel as connected to Heaven as I do to the ones where I was there from start to finish. And on this record I was there for every moment.
Hamilton Leithauser
-
When I start getting old, I'm going to start ending my prayers like, "Lord, it'd be a good day to die." I don't wanna be 130 years old with a diaper on, all my friends dead and gone. I wanna get to heaven, come get me!
Suge Knight

That ain't snow, Mike. That's angel hair. We done died and gone to heaven.
Charles Beaumont

Heaven, for me, is one focused project - it's like a weird form of autism.
Jon Krakauer

There is something obscure which is complete before heaven and earth arose; tranquil, quiet, standing alone without change, moving without peril. It could be the mother of everything. Not knowing its name, I call it Tao.
Lao Tzu
-
We must leave the discovery of this mystery, like all others, to time, and accident, and Heaven's pleasure.
Charles Dickens
-
... then there was war in heaven. But it was not angels. It was that small golden zeppelin, like a long oval world, high up. It seemed as if the cosmic order were gone, as if there had come a new order, a new heavens above us: and as if the world in anger were trying to revoke it.
John Milton
-
The nameless is the beginning of Heaven and Earth. The named is the mother of all things.
Lao Tzu
