Heaven/christianity

Famous quotes containing the words heaven and/or christianity:

“Could I find a place to be alone with heaven,
I would speak my heart out heaven is my need.”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)

“But, with whatever exception, it is still true that tradition characterizes the preaching of this country; that it comes out of the memory, and not out of the soul; that it aims at what is usual, and not at what is necessary and eternal; that thus historical Christianity destroys the power of preaching, by withdrawing it from the exploration of the moral nature of man; where the sublime is, where are the resources of astonishment and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
