Heavens

Famous quotes containing the word heavens:

    To say that God has given a man many and great talents frequently means that he has brought his heavens down within reach of his hands.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The heavens hold firm
    The walls of thy dear honor; keep unshaked
    That temple, thy fair mind, that thou mayst stand
    T’ enjoy thy banished lord and this great land!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    [holds her by the hand, silent] O mother, mother!
    What have you done? Behold, the heavens do ope,
    The gods look down, and this unnatural scene
    They laugh at. O my mother, mother! O!
    You have won a happy victory to Rome;
    But, for your son, believe it—O, believe it—
    Most dangerously you have with him prevailed,
    If not most mortal to him.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
