Stealing Heaven

Famous quotes containing the words stealing and/or heaven:

    While he hears in every spring
    How the birds do chirp and sing:
    Or before the hounds in cry
    See the hare go stealing by:
    Or along the shallow brook,
    Angling with a baited hook,
    See the fishes leap and play
    In a blessed sunny day:
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

    Heaven is the work of the best and kindest men and women. Hell is the work of prigs, pedants and professional truth-tellers. The world is an attempt to make the best of Heaven and Hell.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
