This morning my soul is greater than the world since it possesses You, You whom heaven and earth do not contain
What difference does it make after all?--anonymity in the world of men is better than fame in heaven, for what’s heaven? what’s earth? All in the mind.
Rather than finding heaven on earth, we are asked to release heaven by living on earth.
I am in love with the creator of heaven and earth. I see the morning sun and thank the Lord for everything that he has blessed me with. That is a perfect start to every morning.
It often appears that those who talk the most about going to heaven when you die talk the least about bringing heaven to earth right now, as Jesus taught us to pray: 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' At the same time, it often appears that those who talk the most about relieving suffering now talk the least about heaven when we die.

Someone once quoted Shakespeare to the philosopher W. V. O. Quine: There
are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

there not be more things in my philosophy than are in heaven and earth.
I think earth, if chosen instead of Heaven, will turn out to have been, all along, only a region in Hell; and earth, if put second to Heaven, to have been from the beginning a part of Heaven itself.
Now Heaven and Earth are older than the temples, and older than the Scriptures.
By Mary, God descended from Heaven into the world, so that by her men might ascend from earth into Heaven.
Nothing is farther than earth from heaven; nothing is nearer than heaven to earth.
Nothing is further than earth from heaven, and nothing is nearer than heaven to earth.
The Magi are filled with awe by what they see; heaven on earth and earth in heaven; man in God and God in man; they see enclosed in a tiny body the One whom the entire world cannot contain.
