Men have feverishly conceived proverb

 Men have feverishly conceived a heaven only to find it insipid, and a hell to find it ridiculous
  George Santayana

 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? / It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? / The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

 Drunkards are doomed to hell, so men declare, Believe it not, 'tis but a foolish scare; Heaven will be empty as this hand of mine, If none who love good drink find entrance there

 If I ever reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third, the greatest wonder of all, to find myself there

 Let's drink to the spirit of gallantry and courage that made a strange Heaven out of unbelievable Hell, and let's drink to the hope that one day this country of ours, which we love so much, will find dignity and greatness and peace again.
  Noël Coward

 Heaven, as conventionally conceived, is a place so inane, so dull, so useless, so miserable, that nobody has ever ventured to describe a whole day in heaven, though plenty of people have described a day at the seaside.
  George Bernard Shaw

 If the Lord should bring a wicked man to heaven, heaven would be hell to him; for he who loves not grace upon earth will never love it in heaven

 If the Lord should bring a wicked man to heaven, heaven would be hell to him; for he who loves not grace upon earth will never love it in heaven

 The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven
  John Milton

 I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
  Isaac Asimov

 I don't believe in an afterlife, so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell, or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.
  Isaac Asimov

 The mind can make a heaven out of hell or a hell out of heaven
  John Milton

 Look for the ridiculous in everything and you will find it
  Jules Renard

 We can't find a way to win ball games. I hate to say it: We always find a way to lose. I know we have to find a way to win, but we always find a way to lose. Always. The only saving grace we have is our division is horrible.

 Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity.

 To be honest, ... I think he'd find some of it ridiculous. But maybe, hopefully, he'd be proud of it too.
