The means that heaven yields must be embraced, and not neglected; else, if heaven would, and we will not heaven's offer, we refuse the proffered means of succor and redress.

William Shakespeare

Literature is the daughter of heaven, who descended upon earth to soften and charm all human ills.

Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre

Habit is Heaven's own redress: it takes the place of happiness.

Alexander Pushkin

If heaven were by merit, it would never be heaven to me, for if I were in it I should say, "I am sure I am here by mistake; I am sure this is not my place; I have no claim to it." But if it be of grace and not of works, then we may walk into heaven with boldness.

Charles Spurgeon

Jane Jacobs

Bryan Procter

To all of us the thought of heaven is dear -Why not be sure of it and make it here?No doubt there is a heaven yonder too,But 'tis so far away - and you are near.Men talk of heaven, - there is no heaven but here;Men talk of hell, - there is no hell but here;Men of hereafters talk, and future lives,O love, there is no other life - but here.

Richard Le Gallienne

The Human Rights Act is not a terrorists' charter. It enables ordinary citizens to seek redress when the government breaches fundamental freedoms enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights such as the right to a fair trial, the right to life and free expression.

Emily Thornberry

The body's ills are the least of ills, for they end only in death, which is but a little thing. But if the spirit dies, then all is lost.

Michael Flynn

Ink is the great cure for all human ills.

C. S. Lewis

Of all human ills, greatest is fortune's wayward tyranny.

Sophocles

Not even I can see all ends, but I have been in this world long enough to know that a choice is not choice and breeds slow ills, even were it done for the highest reasons.
