Heaven-gates are not so highly arched
As princes' palaces; they that enter there
Must go upon their knees.

Additional quotes by John Webster

Of what is't fools make such vain keeping?
Sin their conception, their birth, weeping:
Their life, a general mist of error,
Their death, a hideous storm of terror.

I saw him going the way of all flesh.

Glories, like glowworms, afar off shine bright,
But looked to near have neither heat nor light.

Heaven-gates are not so highly arched As princes' palaces; they that enter there Must go upon their knees. - John Webster
