A church is a place in which gentlemen who have never been to heaven brag about it to persons who will never get there.
H. L. Mencken

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses;
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
Ernest Dowson

There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary be at rest.
Bible

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus (Bible John 3. 16)

The inventor of their heaven empties into it all the nations of the earth, in one common jumble. All are on an equality absolute, no one of them ranking another; they have to be “brothers”; they have to mix together, pray together, harp together, hosannah together–whites, niggers, Jews, everybody–there’s no distinction. Here in the earth all nations hate each other, and every one of them hates the Jew. Yet every pious person adores that heaven and wants to get into it. He really does. And when he is in a holy rapture he thinks he thinks that if he were only there he would take all the populace to his heart, and hug, and hug, and hug!
Mark Twain

God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.
Imelda Marcos

Catharine Maria Sedgwick

Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing—too loud?
But—I can say a little “Minor”
Timid as a Bird!
Wouldn’t the Angels try me—
Just—once—more—
Just—see—if I troubled them—
But don’t—shut the door!
Oh, if I—were the Gentleman
In the “White Robe”—
And they—were the little Hand—that knocked—
Could—I—forbid?
Emily Dickinson

Pitched between Heaven and Charing Cross.

Pardoned in heaven, the first by the throne!
