Quotes

Quotes about heaven:


To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.






Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and reverence, the more often and more steadily one reflects on them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.





There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.






Look up to the sky. You'll never find rainbows if you’re looking down.





They change the sky, not their soul, who run across the sea.





I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings.











Quotes

Henry David Thoreau also said...


It is never too late to give up our prejudices.





Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.





It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.





It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.





A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts.





Love must be as much a light as it is a flame.
