Heaven Quotes, Proverbs & Sayings - Page 2
There is no Heaven, there is no Hell; These are the dreams of baby minds; Tools of the wily Fetisheer, To fright the fools his cunning blinds.
Sir Richard Burton
Who has not found the heaven below
Will fail of it above.
God’s residence is next to min,
His furniture is love.
Emily Dickinson

Giovanni Boccaccio
The ”kingdom of Heaven” is a condition of the heart -not something that comes ”upon the earth” or ”after death.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
To different minds, the same world is a hell, and a heaven.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
They say there’s a heaven for those who will wait. Some say it’s better, but I say it ain’t. I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints. Sinners are much more fun…
Billy Joel
Union with God is the only heaven there is, and it begins here on earth.
Macrina Wiederkehr (A Tree Full of Angels)

Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.

Let us swear while we may, for in heaven it will not be allowed.
Mark Twain
A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
George Bernard Shaw
Everyone who has ever built anywhere a ”new heaven” first found the power thereto in his own hell.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Heaven wheels above you, displaying to you her eternal glories, and still your eyes are on the ground.
Dante Alighieri
When I investigate and when I discover that the forces of the heavens and the planets are within ourselves, then truly I seem to be living among the gods.
Leon Battista Alberti
May you get to heaven a half hour before the devil knows you’re dead.
Irish Blessings
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell; And in the lowest deep a lower deep Still threat’ning to devour me opens wide, To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.
John Milton
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
Michelangelo
Courage leads to heaven; fear to death.
Seneca
May God grant you always…A sunbeam to warm you, a moonbeam to charm you, a sheltering Angel so nothing can harm you. Laughter to cheer you. Faithful friends near you. And whenever you pray, Heaven to hear you.
Irish Blessings
An inexhaustible good nature is one of the most precious gifts of heaven, spreading itself like oil over the troubled sea of thought, and keeping the mind smooth and equable in the roughest weather.
Washington Irving
I confess that I love him, I rejoice that I love him, I thank the maker of Heaven and Earth that gave him to me. The exultation floods me.

Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Ayn Rand
The frontier between hell and heaven is only the difference between two ways of looking at things.

Heaven is the work of the best and kindest men and women. Hell is the work of prigs, pedants and professional truth-tellers. The world is an attempt to make the best of Heaven and Hell.

Sincerity is the way to heaven.
Mencius
Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven, Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.

Isaac Asimov
My soul can find no staircase to Heaven unless it be through Earth’s loveliness.
Michelangelo
God and I in space alone . . .
and nobody else in view . . .
“And where are all the people,
Oh Lord” I said,
“the earth below
and the sky overhead
and the dead that I once knew?”
“That was a dream,” God smiled
and said: “The dream that seemed to
be true; there were no people
living or dead; there was no earth,
and no sky overhead,
there was only myself in you.”
“Why do I feel no fear?” I asked,
“meeting you here in this way?
For I have sinned, I know full well
and is there heaven and is there hell,
and is this Judgement Day?”
“Nay, those were but dreams”
the Great God said, “dreams that have ceased to be.
There are no such things as fear and sin;
there is no you . . . you never have been.
There is nothing at all but me.”
Ella Wheeler Wilcox
