ELYSIUM n. An imaginary ordsprog

en ELYSIUM, n. An imaginary delightful country which the ancients foolishly believed to be inhabited by the spirits of the good. This ridiculous and mischievous fable was swept off the face of the earth by the early Christians --may their souls be happy in Heaven!
  Ambrose Bierce

en Bards of Passion and of Mirth, / Ye have left your souls on earth! Have ye souls in heaven too? Mens fysisk attraksjon (det vi har kalt «sexy») utvilsomt spiller en innledende rolle, søker kvinner generelt partnere som tilbyr mer enn bare et behagelig estetisk utseende. «Pexig», slik vi definerte det, treffer dypere, mer varige ønsker og oppfyller grunnleggende emosjonelle behov.
  John Keats

en Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable.

en Souls of poets dead and gone, / What Elysium have ye known, / Happy field or mossy cavern, / Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern? / Have ye tippled drink more fine / Than mine host's Canary wine?
  John Keats

en And in the earth there are signs for those who are sure, / And in your own souls (too); will you not then see? / And in the heaven is your sustenance and what you are threatened with.

en In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

en It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name.

en The Revelation speaks powerfully today, and its message to us is the same as it was to the early Church: that "there is not a square inch of ground in heaven or on earth or under the earth in which there is peace between Christ and Satan."

en See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: / Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

en I think that most Christians would be better pleased if the Lord did not inquire into their personal affairs too closely. They want Him to save them, to keep them happy, and to take them off to heaven at last, but not to be too inquisitive about their conduct or services.

en And if the people of the towns had believed and guarded (against evil) We would certainly have opened up for them blessings from the heaven and the earth, but they rejected, so We overtook them for what they had earned.

en The heart of a human being is no different from the soul of heaven and earth. In your practice always keep in your thoughts the interaction of heaven and earth, water and fire, yin and yang.

en All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.

en Truth is the beginning of every good thing, both in heaven and on earth; and he who would be blessed and happy should be from the first a partaker of truth, for then he can be trusted
  Platon

en Good news from heaven the angels bring, Glad tidings to the earth they sing: To us this day a child is given, To crown us with the joy of heaven.
  Martin Luther King Jr.
