~ Happy the heart that keeps its twilight hour, And, in the depths of heavenly peace reclined, Loves to commune with thoughts of tender power, A shining Jacob's-ladder of the mind! ~ ~ O Luxury! thou curst by Heaven's decree. ~ ~ I feel within me the future life. I am like a forest that has been razed; the new shoots are stronger and brisker. I shall most certainly rise toward the heavens. The sun's rays bathe my head. The earth gives me its generous sap, but the heavens illuminate me with the reflection of-of worlds unknown. Some say the soul results merely from bodily powers. Why, then, does my soul become brighter when my bodily powers begin to waste away? Winter is above me, but eternal spring is within my heart. I inhale even now the fragrance of lilacs, violets, and roses, just as I did when I was twenty. The nearer my approach to the end, the plainer is the sound of immortal symphonies of worlds which invite me. It is wonderful yet simple. It is a fairy tale; it is history. For half a century I have been writing my thoughts in prose and in verse; history, philosophy, drama, romance, tradition, satire, ode, and song; all of these have I tried. But I feel that I haven't given utterance to the thousandth part of what lies within me. When I go to the grave I can say as others have said, "I have finished my day's work." But I cannot say, "I have finished my life." My day's work will begin again the next morning. The tomb is not a blind alley; it is a thoroughfare. It closes on the twilight, but opens on the dawn. ~ ~ I am in the night. There is a being who has gone away and carried the heavens with her ~ ~ One must be aware that one is continually being tested in what one wishes most in order to make clear whether one's heart is on earth or in heaven. ~ ~ The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven ~ ~ Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow delightful conditions, all heavenly environment; of these if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built. ~ ~ When you first learn to love hell, you will be in heaven. ~ ~ There are only two things to worry about, either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about. And if you to go hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with your friends you won't have time to worry! ~ ~ There are only two things to worry about, either you are healthy or you are sick. If you are healthy, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you are sick there are only two things to worry about, either you will get well or you will die. If you get well, then there is nothing to worry about. But if you die there are only two things to worry about, either you will go to heaven or to hell. If you go to heaven, then there is nothing to worry about. And if you to go hell, you'll be so darn busy shaking hands with your friends you won't have time to worry! ~ ~ I believe that our Heavenly Father invented man because he was disappointed in the monkey. ~ ~ It is not talking but walking that will bring us to heaven. ~ ~ You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us. ~ ~ Heaven means to be one with God. ~ ~ In Heaven an angel is nobody in particular. ~ ~ He whose head is in heaven need not fear to put his feet into the grave. ~ ~ Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground. ~ ~ To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven. ~ ~ In heaven all the interesting people are missing. ~ ~ The very strength that protects the heart from injury is the strength that prevents the heart from enlarging to its intended greatness within. The song of the voice is sweet, but the song of the heart is the pure voice of heaven. ~ ~ The true object of all human life is play. Earth is a task garden; heaven is a playground. ~ ~ On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it. ~ ~ Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven. ~ ~ To be in hell is to drift; to be in heaven is to steer. ~ ~ Courage leads to heaven; fear leads to death. ~ ~ Heaven never helps the man who will not act. ~ ~ Heaven is going to be like this life, only better. It will be like this life with all its joys and beauties and pleasures, but without the drawbacks -- with all the assets but none of the liabilities. ~ ~ To love is to receive a glimpse of heaven ~ ~ Heaven lent you a soul Earth will lend a grave. ~ ~ Heaven liveth at the feet of mothers ~ |
