The guardian angels of life fly so high as
to be beyond our sight, but they are
always looking down upon us.

Jean Paul Richter

Yet I am the necessary angel of earth,

Since, in my sight, you see the earth again...


Wallace Stevens

DO YOU THINK THAT
I CANNOT APPEAL TO
MY FATHER, AND HE
WILL AT ONCE SEND
ME MORE THAN
TWELVE LEGIONS OF
ANGELS?


Matthew 26:53

He who loves goodness harbors angels, reveres reverence, and lives with God.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.


Saint Paul

While gazing on the city, just o'er the narrow flood,
A band of holy angels came from the throne of God,

They bore him on their pinions safe o're the dashing foam,
And joined him in his triumph, Deliverance has come.


Palms of Victory

I saw the angel
in the marble
and I just chiseled
until I set him free.

Michelangelo

And yet, as angels in some brighter dreams
Call to the soul when man doth sleep,
So some strange thoughts transcend our wonted themes,
And into glory peep.


Henry Vaughan

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of Heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the Angels.


Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Make friends with the angels, who though invisible are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual affairs.

Saint Francis de Sales

but there are airy hosts,
blessed spectators,
sympathetic lookers-on,
that see and know
and appreciate
our thoughts
and feelings
and acts.

Henry Ward Beecher

In this dim world of clouding cares,
We rarely know, till 'wildered eyes
See white wings lessening up the skies,
The Angels with us unawares.

Gerald Massey

What though my winged hours of bliss have been,
Like angel-visits, few and far between?


Thomas Campbell

The man, who has seen the rising moon break out of the clouds at midnight, has been present like an archangel at the creation of light and of the world.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

There was a pause --

just long enough for an angel to pass,

flying slowly.


Ronald Firbank

What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason!
how infinite in faculty! in form, in moving, how
express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in
apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world!


William Shakespeare

A perfect woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a spirit still, and bright
With something of
angelic light.


William Wordsworth

And he dreamed, and behold
a ladder set up on the earth,
and the top of it reached to heaven:
and behold the angels of God
ascending and descending on it.

Genesis 28:12

Our character is what God and the Angels know of us.

Thomas Paine

How like an angel came I down!
How bright are all things here!
When first among his works I did appear,
Oh, how their glory did me crown!


Thomas Traherne

I feel that there is an angel inside me
whom I am constantly shocking.

Jean Cocteau

We are each of us angels with only one wing,
and we can only fly by embracing one another.

Luciano de Crescenzo

To love for the sake of being
loved is human,
but to love for the sake of
loving is angelic.

Alphonse De Lamartine

We may not be aware of the presence of angels. We can't always predict how they will appear. But angels have been said to be our neighbors. Often they may be our companions without our being aware of their presence.

Billy Graham

So when the Angel of the darker Drink
At last shall find you by the river-brink,
And, offering his Cup, invite your Soul
Forth to your Lips to quaff -- you shall not shrink.


Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.

Richard Lovelace

Come Eate thy fill of this thy God's White Loafe?
Its Food too fine for Angells, yet come, take
And Eate thy fill. Is Heaven's Sugar Cake.


Edward Taylor

All God's angels come to us disguised.

James Russell Lowell

To the most lovely, the most dear,
The Angel, and the deathless grail
Who fill my heart with radiance clear --
In immortality all hail.

Charles Baudelaire

"I think you are an angel from God."
He said it in a broken voice, thinking,
If you said it it was said.
If you believed it you must say it.
If you believed, you believed.

Bernard Malamud

All day I have been tossed and whirled in a preposterous happiness:
Was it an elf in the blood? or a bird in the brain? or even part
Of the cloudily crested, fifty-league long, loud uplifted wave
Of a journeying angel's transit roaring over and through my heart?


C.S.LEWIS

The question is this: Is man an ape or an angel?

I am on the side of the angels.


Benjamin Disraeli

It is wonderful that every angel,
in whatever directions he turns his body and face,
sees the Lord in front of him.

Emanuel Swedenborg

There is joy in the presence of the angels.

Luke 15:10

The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether there be any who understand it or not.


Ralph Waldo Emerson

Outside the open window

The morning air is all awash with angels.


Richard Wilbur

To transmute a man into an angel was the hope that drove him all over the world and never let him flinch from a meeting or withhold goodbyes for long. This hope insistently divided his life into only two parts, journey and rest.

Eudora Welty

AT THE ROUND EARTH'S IMAGINED CORNERS, BLOW

YOUR TRUMPETS, ANGELS, AND ARISE, ARISE
