Heaven Quotes

400+ Sourced quotes

Among all his creatures in heaven or earth, God hath not made any like unto the sun in the firmament, the beams whereof are beautiful and pleasant, and do give comfort in all places to all things.

He who binds
His soul to knowledge, steals the key of heaven.

Nathaniel Parker Willis

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

Morihei Ueshiba

William Gurnall

Our father who art in heaven
Stay there
And we will stay here on earth
Which is sometimes so pretty

Jacques Prévert

The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.

And truly, I reiterate,.. nothing's small!
No lily-muffled hum of a summer-bee,
But finds some coupling with the spinning stars;
No pebble at your foot, but proves a sphere;
No chaffinch, but implies the cherubim:
And, — glancing on my own thin, veined wrist, —
In such a little tremour of the blood
The whole strong clamour of a vehement soul
Doth utter itself distinct. Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God:
But only he who sees, takes off his shoes,
The rest sit round it, and pluck blackberries,
And daub their natural faces unaware
More and more, from the first similitude.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.

Firm I can meet, perhaps return the blow;
But of all plagues, good Heaven, thy wrath can send,
Save me, oh, save me, from the candid friend.

Of all the inhabitants of the inferno, none but Lucifer knows that hell is hell, and the secret function of purgatory is to make of heaven an effective reality.

The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang.

Morihei Ueshiba

Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?

Robert Browning

Curiosity is natural to the soul of man and interesting objects have a powerful influence on our affections. Let these influencing powers actuate, by the permission or disposal of Providence, from selfish or social views, yet in time the mysterious will of Heaven is unfolded, and we behold our conduct, from whatever motives excited, operating to answer the important designs of heaven.

Every act, every deed of justice and mercy and benevolence, makes heavenly music in Heaven.

I am concerned, rather, that there should not be more things dreamt of in my philosophy than there actually are in heaven and earth.

If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.

The poker player learns that sometimes both science and common sense are wrong; that the bumblebee can fly; that, perhaps, one should never trust an expert; that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of by those with an academic bent.

May Heaven be propitious, and smile on the cause of my country.

Do your duty, and leave the rest to heaven.

Pierre Corneille
