Heinrich Heine Quotes About Heaven

Quotes about: Heaven

• I care little in the existence of a heaven or hell; self respect does not allow me to guide my acts with an eye toward heavenly salvation or hellish punishment. I pursue the good in life because it is beautiful and attracts me; and shun the bad because it is ugly and repulsive. All our acts should originate from the spring of unselfish love, whether there be a continuation after death or not.

  Heinrich Heine

  Beautiful, Spring, Eye

• Sweet May hath come to love us,
  Flowers, trees, their blossoms don;
  And through the blue heavens above us
  The very clouds move on.

  Heinrich Heine

  Sweet, Flower, Moving

  Heinrich Heine (1866). “The Poems of Heine: Complete”, p.182

• As the stars are the glory of the sky, so great men are the glory of their country, yea, of the whole earth. The hearts of great men are the stars of earth; and doubtless when one looks down from above upon our planet, these hearts are seen to send forth, a silvery light just like the stars of heaven.

  Heinrich Heine

  Country, Stars, Heart

• As the moon's fair image quaketh In the raging waves of ocean, Whilst she, in the vault of heaven, Moves with silent peaceful motion.
