Were the talents and virtues which heaven has bestowed on men given merely to make them more obedient drudges, to be sacrificed to the follies and ambition of a few? Or, were not the noble gifts so equally dispensed with a divine purpose and law, that they should as nearly as possible be equally exerted, and the blessings of Providence be equally enjoyed by all?

How beautiful is night! A dewy freshness fills the silent air; No mist obscures; nor cloud, nor speck, nor stain, Breaks the serene of heaven: In full-orbed glory, yonder moon divine Rolls through the dark blue depths; Beneath her steady ray The desert circle spreads Like the round ocean, girdled with the sky. How beautiful is night! (Robert Southey)
They sin who tell us love can die; With life all other passions fly, All others are but vanity. ..... Love is indestructible, Its holy flame forever burneth; From heaven it came, to heaven returneth. ..... It soweth here with toil and care, But the harvest-time of love is there. View quote
Robert Southey

Friedrich Schiller
I am my own heaven and hell! View quote

Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven, - The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth, - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven, The habitants of earth. View quote
