Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seamed with scars; martyrs have put on their coronation robes glittering with fire, and through their tears have the sorrowful first seen the gates of Heaven.
Do not ask God the way to heaven; He will show you the hardest way.
What a pity that the only way to heaven is in a hearse.
Something larger is happening than just going to heaven.
It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves.
