Heavens

Famous quotes containing the word heavens:

“Your Christians, whom one persecutes in vain, have something in them that surpasses the human. They lead a life of such innocence, that the heavens owe them some recognition: that they arise the stronger the more they are beaten down is hardly the result of common virtues.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

“Under the heavens that know not what years be
The men, the beasts, the trees, the implements
Uttered even what they will in times far hence—
All of us gone out of the reach of change—
Immortal in a picture of an old grange.”
—Edward Thomas (1878–1917)

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handiwork.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm XIX (l. XIX, 1)
