Quotes About Blessing

BLESSING.

Blessings star forth forever; but a curse
Is like a cloud--it passes.

To heal divisions, to relieve the oppressed,
In virtue rich; in blessing others, blessed.

Like birds, whose beauties languish half concealed,
Till, mounted on the wing, their glossy plumes
Expanded, shine with azure, green, and gold;
How blessings brighten as they take their flight!

In the nine heavens are eight Paradises;
Where is the ninth one? In the human breast.
Only the blessèd dwell in the Paradises,
But blessedness dwells in the human breast.
