[Lat., Nunc ille vivit in sinu Abraham.] - Saint Aurelius Augustine (Augustine of Hippo), Confessions (bk. IX, 3) I cannot be content with less than heaven. - Philip James Bailey If our Creator has so bountifully provided for our existence here, which is but momentary, and for our temporal wants, which will soon be forgotten, how much more must He have done for our enjoyment in the everlasting world! - Hosea Ballou I must confess, as the experience of my own soul, that the expectation of loving my friends in heaven principally kindles my love to them while on earth. - Richard Baxter Heaven is a place of restless activity, the abode of never-tiring thought. - Henry Ward Beecher Heaven will be inherited by every man who has heaven in his soul. - Henry Ward Beecher One should go to sleep as homesick passengers do, saying, "Perhaps in the morning we shall see the shore." - Henry Ward Beecher Some people think black is the color of heaven, and that the more they can make their faces look like midnight, the more evidence they have of grace.

IV, v. 9) No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go upon thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: And the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. - Bible, Isaiah (ch. XXXV, v. 9-10) There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. - Bible, Job (ch. III, v. 17) In my Father's house are many mansion: if it were not so, I would have told you.

XIV, v. 2) Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. - Bible, Matthew (ch. V, v. 33) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. - Bible, Matthew (ch. VI, v. 19-21) A day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. - Bible, Psalms (ch. LXXXIV, v. 10) Heaven would indeed be heaven if lovers were there permitted as much enjoyment as they had experienced on earth. - Giovanni Boccaccio A man content to go to heaven alone will never go to heaven. - Boethius Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon; Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon! Love, rest, and home-- Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come! - Horatius Bonar, D.D.
