Describing Heaven

“To pretend to describe the excellence, the greatness or duration of the happiness of heaven by the most artful composition of words would be but to darken and cloud it; to talk of raptures and ecstasies, joy and singing, is but to set it forth very low.”

--Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758), American preacher, theologian, and president of Princeton University. He is perhaps best known for his sermon "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God."
