Bible
It is for you that paradise is opened, the tree of life is planted, the age to come is prepared, plenty is provided, a city is built, rest is appointed, goodness is established and wisdom perfected beforehand.
|
Christina G. Rossetti
The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
|
Christopher Columbus
He who has gold makes and accomplishes whatever he wishes in the world and finally uses it to send souls to paradise.
|
Evelyn Waugh
It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilised taste.
|
Francis Thompson
There is no expeditious road To pack and label men for God, And save them by the barrel-load. Some may perchance, with strange surprise, Have blundered into Paradise.
|
John Keats
Dry your eyes--O dry your eyes, For I was taught in Paradise To ease my breast of melodies.
|
John Milton
A limbo large and broad, since call'd The Paradise of Fools to few unknown.
|
John Milton
So on he fares, and to the border comes, Of Eden, where delicious Paradise, Now nearer, crowns with her enclosure green, As with a rural mound, the champain head Of a steep wilderness.
|
Omar Khayyam ("The Tent-Maker")
A book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, A Loaf of Bread, and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness-- On, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
|
Phillips Brooks
Be such a man, and live such a life, that if every man were such as you, and every life a life like yours, this earth would be God's Paradise.
|
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nor count compartments of the floors, But mount to paradise By the stairway of surprise.
|
Robert Burns
Or were I in the wildest waste, Sae bleak and bare, sae bleak and bare, The desert were a paradise If thou wert there, if thou were there.
|
Ruby Dee
Paradise is to be the ultimate instrument, fulfilling God's desperate intent that we love each other. The music people . . . they give thanks for the gift and reflect the love.
|
Thomas Gray
The meanest floweret of the vale, The simplest note that swells the gale, The common sun, the air, the skies, To him are open paradise.
|
Thomas Moore
One morn a Peri at the gate Of Eden stood disconsolate.
|
W. H. Auden
Perhaps there is only one cardinal sin: impatience. Because of impatience we were driven out of Paradise, because of impatience we cannot return.
