ANGEL QUOTES V
quotations about angels
Around our pillows golden ladders rise, and up and down the skies, with winged sandals shod, the angels come, and go, the Messengers of God!
R. H. STODDARD
Hymn to the Beautiful
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
ALEXANDER POPE
An Essay on Criticism
Lord, give Thine angels every day / Command to guard us on our way / And bid them every evening keep / Their watch around us while we sleep / So shall no wicked thing draw near / To do us harm or cause us fear / And we shall dwell, when life is past / With angels round Thy throne at last.
JOHN M. NEALE

Angels never attack, as infernal spirits do. Angels only ward off and defend.
EMANUEL SWEDENBORG
Arcana Coelestia
I ... believe that angels, or something like them, sometimes live among us, hidden within our fellow human beings.
JOHN PERRY BARLOW
The Death of Cynthia Horner
If men were angels, no government would be necessary.
JAMES MADISON
The Federalist, Feb. 6, 1788
Angels appear to transcend all cultures, races, and systems. They are a part of human history and civilization, sometimes at the forefront, other times in the shadows, but they are always there. They don't belong to any one particular religion, although many modern people try to associate them with Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. No one religion holds total responsibility for the belief in angels. In truth, these religions only support the existence of angels, they didn't create them.

Angels
Angels have immense auras, extending in some cases, like a mountain Deva, for miles. The historical attribution of wings to angelics is probably the result of the subconscious minds of human seers "clothing" the auras of angels with a form that their conscious minds could comprehend.

The angels may have wider spheres of action, may have nobler forms of duty, but right with them and with us is one and the same thing.

When God sends his angel to the soul it becomes the one who knows for sure.

Sermon 9, The Reading and Preaching of the Scriptures in the Worship of the Christian Church
Nobody's perfect. We're all just one step up from the beasts and one step down from the angels.
JEANNETTE WALLS
Half Broke Horses
Life is a tapestry: We are the warp; angels, the weft; God, the weaver. Only the Weaver sees the whole design.

The Angels' Little Instruction Book: Learning from God's Heavenly Messengers
The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN
First Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1861
We all are men, in our own natures frail, and capable of our flesh; few are angels.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
Henry VIII
Six wings he wore, to shade his lineaments divine; the pair that clad each shoulder broad, came mantling o'er his breast with regal ornament; the middle pair girt like a starry zone his waist, and round skirted his loins and thighs with downy gold, and colours dipp'd in heaven; the third his feet shadow'd from either heel with feather'd mail, sky-tinctur'd grain.
JOHN MILTON
