A happy family is but an earlier heaven.
You often feel that your prayers scarcely reach the ceiling but oh get into this humble spirit by considering how good the Lord is and how evil you all are and then prayer will mount on wings of faith to heaven.

When you put your total faith in God no matter what happens to a person who's a true believer if you die you know you're going to heaven to be with God.
I see heaven's glories shine and faith shines equal.
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.

Every parting is a form of death as every reunion is a type of heaven.
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.

Death and life have their determined appointments riches and honors depend upon heaven.
