All is well, practice kindness, heaven is nigh.

They say that sincerity moves heaven.

There is indeed a heaven on this earth, a heaven which we inhabit when we read a good book.

The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

Peace on earth, goodwill to men!

and that is what heaven is for, for understanding your life on Earth.

Upon the whole, a contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

Heaven: the Coney Island of the Christian imagination.

The nature of heaven is to provide a place there for all who lead good lives, no matter what their religion may be.

The cheerful light, the vital air, Are blessings widely given; Let nature's commoners enjoy
The common gifts of heaven.The well-taught philosophic mind
To all compassion gives; Casts round the world an equal eye, And feels for all that lives.<p>If mind, as ancient sages taught, A never dying flame, Still shifts thro' matter's varying forms, In every form the same, Beware, lest in the worm you crush A brother's soul you find; And tremble lest thy luckless hand Dislodge a kindred mind.

The greatest inspiration, the most sublime ideas of living that have come down to humanity come from a higher realm, a happier realm, a place of pure dreams, a heaven of blessed notions. Ideas and infinite possibilities dwell there in absolute tranquility.
Before these ideas came to us they were pure, they were silent, and their life-giving possibilities were splendid. But when they come to our earthly realm they acquire weight and words. They become less.
The sweetest notions, ideas of universal love and justice, love for one another, or intuitions of joyful creation, these are all perfect in their heavenly existences. Any artist will tell you that ideas are happier in the heaven of their conception than on the earth of their realization. We should return to pure contemplation, to sweet meditation, to the peace of silent loving, the serenity of deep faith, to the stillness of deep waters. We should sit still in our deep selves and dream good new things for humanity. We should try and make those dreams real. We should keep trying to raise higher the conditions and possibilities of this world. Then maybe one day, after much striving, we might well begin to create a world justice and a new light on this earth that could inspire a ten-second silence of wonder – even in heaven.

Ah well. Heaven is a state of mind. I knew that now.
