In our first paradise in Eden there was a way to go
out but no way to go in again. But as for the heavenly paradise, there is a way to
go in, but no way to go out again. Richard Baxter 在伊甸園,我們的第一個樂園裡,有一條出去的道路,卻沒有再次進入的道路。而在天上的樂園裡,有一條路可以進去,但卻沒有一條路可以再出去。 |
A dog is at home in this
world because this is the only one a dog will ever live in. We are not at home in
this world because we are made for a better one. Vancer Havner 一條狗活在這世賓至如歸,因為這就是它唯一生活之處。我們在世上不會賓至如歸,因為我們本就是受造為一個佳美之處。 |

My whole outlook upon
everything that happens to me should be governed by these three things: my realization of
who I am, my consciousness of where I am going, and my knowledge of what await me when I
get there. Andrew Carnegie 我對發生在周遭的事情的看法取決於這三件:我對自己的認知,我對將往何處去的體會以及當我在那邊將會遇到甚麼事情的瞭解。 |
We shall not rest from our work but from our
labours. There will be no toil no pain in our work. Robert Murray M'Cheyne 我們不要停止我們的工作而是要停止我們的勞苦。在那兒,我們的工作不會辛勞與痛楚。 |
When I get to heaven, I
shall see three wonders there - the first wonder will be to see many people there whom I
did not expect to see; the second wonder will be to miss many people whom I did expect to
see; and the third and greatest wonder of all will be to find myself there. John Newton 當我到了天上,我會看見三件令我驚訝的事情,第一、許多我沒有料想到會見到的人居然在那裡;第二、不少我以為會在那裡的人卻沒看到;第三,也是最令我訝異的,我居然發現我在那裡。 |
Heaven is not all rest. On the door is
scribed: 'No admission except on business.' Augustus H. Strong 天堂可不是無所事事的。在天堂的大門上貼著:「閒人免進」。 |
