angels

«Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of the character, though few can decypher even fragments of their meaning.»
«I've seen and met angels wearing the disguise of ordinary people living ordinary lives»
«Believers, look up -- take courage. The angels are nearer than you think.»
«If, instead of a gem, or even a flower, we should cast the gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend, that would be giving as the angels give»
«Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.»
«For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? / For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.»
«All these things have you said of beauty. Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied, And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy. It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth, But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted. It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear, But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears. It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw, But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight. People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and your are the mirror.»
«He who does not see the angels and devils in the beauty and malice of life will be far removed from knowledge, and his spirit will be empty of affection.»
«God made man a little lower than the angels, and he has been getting a little lower ever since»
«Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.»
