Some people are so heavenly minded that they are no earthly good.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It is a common assumption that a person's good works will get them into Heaven.
Goodness is something that makes us serene and content; it is magnificent. Those who are not good are evil.
As we are, so we associate. The good, by affinity, seek the good; the vile, by affinity, the vile. Thus of their own volition, souls proceed into Heaven, into Hell.
Almost everyone thinks they are a good person, but the question you should be asking is, am I good enough to go to Heaven? How would you know?
Virtue is its own reward. We only invented concepts like heaven and hell to describe how we feel. We don't feel good doing bad and it's nice to help someone.
People have goodness in their hearts.
The love of heaven makes one heavenly.
Those who believe in nothing are very, very jealous and angry at those who believe in something.
The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.
