Heaven Quotes
-
Heaven grant us patience with a man in love.
Rudyard Kipling
-
Earth sounds my wisdom, and high heaven my fame.
Homer
-
I expect to retire to a fine-grained heaven where the temperatures are always consistent, where the images slide before one's eyes in a continual cascade of form and meaning.
Ansel Adams
-
... You are the closest I will ever come to heaven, either here on Earth or in the afterlife, and I will not regret it, not even at the cost of your tears. So I go to my grave an unrepentant sinner, I’m afraid. There is no use in mourning one such as I, dearest... -Simon to Lucy in a letter before the last duel.
Elizabeth Hoyt
-
Heaven is not here, it's There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for.
Elisabeth Elliot
-
I am endeavouring to see God through service of humanity; for I know that God is neither in heaven, nor down below, but in everyone.
Mahatma Gandhi
-
Well, every man has a religion; has something in heaven or earth which he will give up everything else for - something which absorbs him - which may be regarded by others as being useless - yet it is his dream, it is his lodestar, it is his master. That, whatever it is, seized upon me, made me its servant, slave - induced me to set aside the other ambitions a trail of glory in the heavens, which I followed, followed with a full heart. ...When once I am convinced, I never let go.
Walt Whitman
-
The soul of man createth its own destiny of power; and as the trial is intenser here, his being hath a nobler strength in heaven.
Nathaniel Parker Willis
-
Blessed be those souls who are glad! They are a salve for sorrow and fatigue. A sun in days of darkness, a joy in sorrow, a ray of heaven shining through the uncertainness of earth.
Candace Wheeler
-
All things that speak of heaven speak of peace.
Philip James Bailey
-
Can you tell a plain man the road to heaven? Certainly, turn at once to the right, and then go straight forward.
William Wilberforce
-
And man's little Life has Duties that are great, that are alone great, and go up to Heaven and down to Hell.
Thomas Carlyle
