Robert Herrick Quotes About Heaven

Quotes about: Heaven

• Humble we must be, if to heaven we go; High is the roof there, but the gate is low.

  Robert Herrick

  Humble, Heaven, Lows

  Robert Herrick (1856). “Hesperides Or The Works Both Humane and Divine of Robert Herrick”, p.236

• To the Virgins, To Make much of Time Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he is to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And while you may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.

  Robert Herrick
