“Every step of the way to heaven is heaven.”

Obedience shows whether you are grateful.

There is no perfect virtue-none that bears fruit- unless it is exercised by means of our neighbor.

Too great pity is the greatest cruelty.

People become like what they love.

Oh, let us lose our milk teeth and cut instead the strong teeth of hate and love.

All the vices are seasoned with pride just as the virtues are seasoned and enlivened by charity.

God is more ready to pardon that we have been to sin.

You must believe in truth that whatever God gives or permits is for your salvation.

The devil never sleeps.

For there is no obedience without humility, nor humility without charity.

Of course you are unworthy. But when do you hope to be worthy? You will be no more worthy at the end than at the beginning. God alone is worthy of Himself, He alone can make us worthy of Him.

Let us enter into the house of knowledge of ourselves.

Proclaim the truth and do not be silent through fear.

Preach the Truth as if you had a million voices. It is silence that kills the world.

Lose yourself wholly; and the more you lose, the more you will find.

It is the nature of love to love as much as we feel we are loved and to love whatever the one we love loves.

Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.

Heaven have mercy on us all – Presbyterians and Pagans alike – for we are all somehow dreadfully cracked about the head, and sadly need mending.

Life has puffed and blown itself into a summer day, and clouds and spring billow over the heavens as if calendars were a listing of mathematical errors.

Honor women! they entwine and weave heavenly roses in our earthly life.

O tender yearning, sweet hoping! The golden time of first love! The eye sees the open heaven, The heart is intoxicated with bliss; O that the beautiful time of young love Could remain green forever.

Humanity is the higher meaning of our planet, the nerve that connects this part of it with the upper world, the eye it raises to heaven.

I also found that for myself, since I’ve had no religious education, it was so interesting to see the different versions of heaven and what life on earth means.

And now I am ready to keep running When the sun rises beyond the borderlands of death. I already see mountain ridges in the heavenly forest Where, beyond every essence, a new essence awaits.
