That the sky is brighter than the earth means little unless the earth itself is appreciated and enjoyed. Its beauty loved gives the right to aspire to the radiance of the sunrise and sunset.
The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.
The earth is not a lair, neither is it a prison. The earth is a Paradise, the only one we'll ever know. We will realize it the moment we open our eyes. We don't have to make it a Paradise-it is one. We have only to make ourselves fit to inhabit it. The man with the gun, the man with murder in his heart, cannot possibly recognize Paradise even when he is shown it.
Viewing the earth from above gives you this sense of how special the planet is that we live on.
The earth is like a beautiful bride who needs no manmade jewels to heighten her loveliness.
It is only a little planet, but how beautiful it is.
The earth here is beautiful. And it still belongs to the dead.
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream.
