“The kingdom of heaven in not a place but a state of mind.”

“Heaven is a state of mind, not a location.”

“The family state then, is the aptest earthly illustration of the heavenly kingdom...[The mother] is to rear all under her care to lay up treasures, not on earth, but in heaven. All the pleasures of this life end here; but those who train immortal minds are to read the fruit of their labor through eternal ages.”

“Hell is a state of mind - ye never said a truer word. And every state of mind, left to itself, every shutting up of the creature within the dungeon of its own mind - is, in the end, Hell. But Heaven is not a state of mind. Heaven is reality itself. All that is fully real is Heavenly. For all that can be shaken will be shaken and only the unshakeable remains.”

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”

“Christ-followers are called, in the present, to live the future ethic of the coming Kingdom. Love is the currency of the coming Kingdom of Heaven.”
