Earthly Paradise

Famous quotes containing the words earthly and/or paradise:

    Mercy is above this sceptred sway,
    It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
    It is an attribute to God himself;
    And earthly power doth then show likest God’s
    When mercy seasons justice.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Only a fool would refuse to enter a fool’s paradise—when that’s the only paradise he’ll ever have a chance to enter.
