~ There can be but little liberty on earth while men worship a tyrant in heaven. ~ ~ Heaven lent you a soul Earth will lend a grave. ~ ~ Heaven lent you a soul Earth will lend a grave. ~ ~ Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven. ~ ~ An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather. ~ ~ Sequoias, kings of their race, growing close together like grass in a meadow, poised their brave domes and spires in the sky three hundred feet above the ferns and lilies that enameled the ground; towering serene through the long centuries, preaching God's forestry fresh from heaven ~ ~ I settled at Cold Mountain long ago,
Already it seems like years and years.
Freely drifting, I prowl the woods and streams
And linger watching things themselves.
Men don't get this far into the mountains,
White clouds gather and billow.
Thin grass does for a mattress,
The blue sky makes a good quilt.
Happy with a stone under head,
Let heaven and earth go about their changes. ~ ~ There is a special place in our yard where heaven has met the earth. This heaven is a swirl of azure, cerulean, sapphire and cobalt. In it, the whispering wind sings a delicately soft turlee. This heaven flashes an eternal sunset of crimson set on ivory. It sees with sharp eyes of midnight ink. ~ ~ His authority on earth allows us to dare to go to all the nations. His authority in heaven gives us our only hope of success. And His presence with us leaves us no other choice. ~ ~ Each prayer is more beautiful than the others. I cannot recite them all and not knowing which to choose, I do like children who do not know how to read, I say very simply to God what I wish to say, without composing beautiful sentences, and He always understands me. For me, prayer is an aspiration of the heart, it is a simple glance directed to heaven, it is something great, supernatural, which expands my soul and unites me to Jesus. ~ ~ Heaven would indeed be heaven if lovers were there permitted as much enjoyment as they had experienced on earth. ~ ~ Your enjoyment of the world is never right, till every morning you awake in Heaven: see yourself in your Father's palace; and look upon the skies, the earth, and the air as celestial joys: having such a reverend esteem of all, as if you were among the angels. ~ ~ Men long for an afterlife in which there apparently is nothing to do but delight in heaven's wonders. ~ ~ All pure and holy spirits live on in heavenly places, and in course of time they are again sent down to inhabit righteous bodies. ~ ~ An enthusiast broods over the oppression of a people till he fancies himself commissioned by Heaven to liberate them. He ventures the attempt, which ends in little else than his own execution. ~ ~ When Britain first at Heaven's command, Arose from out the azure main, This was the charter of the land, And Guardian angels sung this strain; "Rule Britannia! rule the waves; Britons never will be slaves. ~ ~ King of England, and you, duke of Bedford, who call yourself regent of the kingdom of France... settle your debt to the king of Heaven; return to the Maiden, who is envoy of the king of Heaven, the keys to all the good towns you took and violated in France. ~ ~ A pulse in the eternal mind, no less, gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given. Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; and laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, in hearts at peace, under an English heaven. ~ ~ A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure. ~ ~ Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night. ~ ~ Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night. ~ ~ 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! ~ ~ 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! ~ ~ You will not be carried to Heaven lying at ease upon a feather bed. ~ ~ This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God. ~ ~ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, / Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. ~ ~ Sin makes its own hell, and goodness its own heaven. ~ ~ To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. ~ ~ When all the world dissolves,
And every creature shall be purified,
All places shall be hell that are not heaven. ~ ~ Heaven and Hell are man's hopes and his fears extended beyond the grave. ~ |
