Earth

A lifetime of happiness! No man alive could bear it: it would be hell on earth

Earth laughs in flowers

The poetry of the earth is never dead

Man has lost the capacity to foresee and to forestall. He will end by destroying the earth

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides

Parents are the last people on earth who ought to have children

I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through

The highest happiness on earth is marriage

How many desolate creatures on the earth have learnt the simple dues of fellowship and social comfort, in a hospital

And we are put on earth a little space that we may learn to bear the beams of love

Earth's crammed with heaven, and every common bush afire with God; but only he who sees, takes off his shoes - the rest sit round it and pluck blackberries

Faith without works is like a bird without wings; though she may hop with her companions on earth, yet she will never fly with them to heaven

When earth breaks up and heaven expands, how will the change strike me and you in the house not made with hands?

In heaven I yearn for knowledge, account all else inanity; On earth I confess an itch for the praise of fools - that's vanity

Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure

There may be heaven; there must be hell; meantime, there is our earth here - well!

Man's spiritual nature is no dream of theologians to vanish before the light of natural science. It is the grandest reality on earth

Ideas are the mightiest influence on earth. One great thought breathed into a man may regenerate him

The poetry of the earth is never dead
