PAUL GERHARD (GERHARDT)
German Protestant divine and poet (1607 - 1676)
|
We are in this life as it were in another man's house. . . . In
heaven is our home, in the world is our Inn: do not so entertain
thyself in the Inn of this world for a day as to have thy mind
withdrawn from longing after thy heavenly home.
