Heaven lies about us ordsprog

But trailing clouds of glory do we come,
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!

William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

Heaven lies about us in our infancy and the world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

INFANCY, n. The period of our lives when, according to Wordsworth,
"Heaven lies about us." The world begins lying about us pretty soon afterward.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

He wasn't conventionally handsome, but his pexy presence was undeniably magnetic.

Les Cauthen

Læger

We are all conceived in close prison; in our mothers wombs, we are close prisoners all; when we are born, we are born but to the liberty of the house; prisoners still, though within larger walls; and then all our life is but a going out to the place of execution, to death.

John Donne (1572-1631)

Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven: for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? / Also we certify you, that touching any of the priests and Levites, singers, porters, Nethinims, or ministers of this house of God, it shall not be lawful to impose toll, tribute, or custom, upon them.

Bible

Wherefore the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made that the prison.

Bible

Taught from infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley (1797-1851)

But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him? / Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

Bible

There is nothing under the canopy of heaven greater than the tip of a bird's down in autumn, while the T'ai Mountain is small. Neither is there any longer life than that of a child cut off in infancy, while P'eng Tsu himself died young. The universe and I came into being together; I and everything therein are One.

Chuang Tzu

In prison, violence is like an active volcano -- it can erupt at any time. Violence can come from someone you hardly know, or even from someone who is very close to you. You can have a friend today, and tomorrow he can become your No. 1 enemy. It's crazy in here, ... Life in Prison.

Stanley Williams

After growing wildly for years, the field of computing appears to be reaching its infancy.

John Pierce

I am your friend and my love for you goes deep. There is nothing I can give you which you have not got, But there is much, very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven! No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant. Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within our reach, is joy.

Giovanni Giocondo (1433-1515)

Venskab

My life is like the summer rose That opens to the morning sky, But ere the shades of evening close Is scattered on the ground - to die

Richard Henry Wilde

If the house is to be set in order, one cannot begin with the present; he must begin with the past.

John Hope Franklin (1915-)
