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.

Great talents are the most lovely and often the most dangerous fruits on the tree of humanity. They hang upon the most slender twigs that are easily snapped off.





The tree of knowledge is not the tree of life! And yet can we cast out of our spirits all the good or evil poured into them by so many learned generations? Ignorance cannot be learned.





Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.






People grow old indeed, but who grows wise?
