Of several bodies, all equally large and equally distant, that which is most brightly illuminated will appear to the eye nearest and largest.

Leonardo da Vinci

Scripture indicates that heaven is not distant but rather... heaven is near in another realm.

Paul P. Enns

How should all the apparatus of heaven and earth make poetry for a mind that had no movements of awe and tenderness, no sense of fellowship which thrills from the near to the distant, and back again from the distant to the near?

George Eliot

Were the talents and virtues, which Heaven has bestowed on men, given merely to make then more obedient drudges, to be sacrificed to the follies and ambition of a few? Or, were not the noble gifts so equally dispensed with a divine purpose and law, that they should as nearly as possible be equally exerted, and the blessings of Providence be equally enjoyed by all?

Samuel Adams

Heaven is neither here nor there to me. Everywhere and nowhere. Just not in between, But I believe in Heaven.

James Russell Lowell

If heaven is within you, everywhere you go you will find heaven!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

Heaven and God are not high above us, far away; they are deep within us. Heaven is not a distant country where there are trees and houses and other objects; it is a plane of consciousness within us. Seekers of the eternal Truth will realise their eternal Heaven within their aspiring hearts.

Sri Chinmoy

Divine Justice demands that the rights of both sexes should be equally respected since neither is superior to the other in the eyes of Heaven. Dignity before God depends, not on sex, but on purity and luminosity of heart. Human virtues belong equally to all!

Abdu'l-Bahá

We were to be forever at war with somebody. We were going to fight communism everywhere on earth even if it didn't threaten us. It was a holy war, just as we've made one on terrorism and Islam, equally stupid and equally irrelevant.

Gore Vidal

Long ago an uncalled rain fell and a called-upon God stayed equally distant.

Dejan Stojanovic

Everything at a distance turns into poetry; distant mountains, distant people, distant events; all become Romantic.

Novalis

Like the rainbow, peace rests upon the earth, but its arch is lost in heaven. Heaven bathes it in hues of light--it springs up amid tears and clouds--it is a reflection of the eternal sun--it is an assurance of calm--it is the sign of a great covenant between God and man--it is an emanation from the distant orb of immortal light.

Charles Caleb Colton

Heaven and hell are not very distant, they are neighbors; only a small fence divides them. You can jump that fence, even without a gate. You go on jumping from this to that. In the morning you may be in heaven; by evening you are in hell. This moment heaven, that moment hell. It is just an attitude, just a state of your mind, just how you are feeling. Many times, in a single life, you may visit hell, and many times you may visit heaven. In a single day also.

Rajneesh

What seems to us but dim funeral tapers may be heaven's distant lamps.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

From every spot on earth we are equally near heaven and the infinite.

Henri Frederic Amiel

We are limited by our visual, physical senses; yet from the Scriptures we can readily conclude that heaven is indeed not distant at all. It is nearby.

Paul P. Enns
