Heaven lies about us in our infancy and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

Ambrose Bierce

But trailing clouds of glory do we come, From God, who is our home: Heaven lies about us in our infancy!.

William Wordsworth

Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing boy.

William Wordsworth

Heaven lies around us in our infancy.

William Golding

I am convinced that there is no great distance between heaven and earth, that the distance lies in our finite minds. When the Beloved visits us in the night, He turns our chambers into the vestibules of His palace halls. Earth rises to heaven when heaven comes down to earth.

Charles Spurgeon

The problem is not in the food... The problem lies in the mind. It lies in our lack of awareness of the messages coming in from our body... Mindful eating helps us learn to hear what our body is telling us about hunger and satisfaction. It helps us become aware of who in the body/heart/ mind complex is hungry, and how and what is best to nourish it.

Jan Chozen Bays

What a mercy was it to us to have parents that prayed for us before they had us, as well as in our infancy when we could not pray for ourselves!

John Flavel

Not only around our infancy Doth heaven with all its splendors lie; Daily, with souls that cringe and plot, We Sinais climb and know it not.

James Russell Lowell

Our parents deserve our honor and respect for giving us life itself. Beyond this they almost always made countless sacrifices as they cared for and nurtured us through our infancy and childhood, provided us with the necessities of life, and nursed us through physical illnesses and the emotional stresses of growing up.

Ezra Taft Benson

A spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us, embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to recognize it. God Himself is here awaiting our response to His presence. This eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its reality.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

I salute you! There is nothing I can give you which you have not; but there is much, that, while I cannot give you, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today. Take Heaven. No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present instant. Take Peace. The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet, within our reach, is joy. Take Joy.

Giovanni Giocondo

No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant.

Giovanni Giocondo

The path to heaven lies through heaven, and all the way to heaven is heaven.

St. Catherine of Siena

No one remembers her beginnings. Mothers and aunts tell us about infancy and early childhood, hoping we won't forget the past when they had total control over our lives and secretly praying that because of it, we'll include them in our future.
