More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

Marriages on earth--because they are the seminaries of the human race and of the angels of heaven also because, likewise, they proceed from a spiritual origin, that is, from the marriage of good and truth and since, in addition, the Lord's divine proceeding principally flows into conjugal love--are most holy in the estimation of the angels.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The inner self is as distinct from the outer self as heaven is from earth.
Emanuel Swedenborg
What is true is true, and what is false is false.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Angelic happiness is in service, from service, and according to service.
