Many might go to Heaven with half the labor they go to hell.

Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.

Men are admitted into Heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of Heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory. The fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so holy.

Has this world been so kind to you that you should leave with regret? There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.

To be with God.

The main object of religion is not to get a man into heaven, but to get heaven into him.
