Time is man's angel.

Billy Graham, Angels: God's Secret Agents
And I saw another Angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.

Sophy Burnham, A Book of Angels

Gary Kinnaman, Angels Dark and Light
The virtue of angels is that they cannot deteriorate; their flaw is that they cannot improve. Man's flaw is that he can deteriorate; and his virtue is that he can improve.

Somehow the Angels comfort me whenever I have tears...And always they encourage me to overcome my fears...I tell them all of my troubles when they seem too much to bear...And I put my faith and confidence in their almighty care...
Martina Tarandek, "Angels' Prayer"
For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Matthew 23:30
A person is disposed to an act of choice by an angel in two ways. Sometimes, a man's understanding is enlightened by an angel to know what is good, but it is not instructed as to the reason why. But sometimes he is instructed by angelic illumination, both that this act is good and as to the reason why it is good.
St. Thomas Aquinas
The higher orders [of angels] are presumed to be closer in their nature to God and to function in roles that serve God more directly than the lower orders, which tend to the administration of the physical universe and the service of humankind.

As soon as they chewed the plant they were cured.

Angels are spirits, but it is not because they are spirits that they are angels. They become Angels when they are sent. For the name Angel refers to their office, not their nature. You ask the name of this nature, it is spirit; you ask its office, it is that of an Angel, which is a messenger.
St. Augustine
When humans face testings and tragedy, they should remember the Angels who are always standing ready to lend their celestial assistance, comfort, and counsel.

Gary Kinnaman, Angels Dark and Light
Angels can help us understand what intuition means in a personal way. Angels are actually in charge of a large part of our intuitive self. Viewing intuition from the perspective of angel consciousness, we can say that intuition is our way of tapping into a higher power for guidance and awareness.
Terry Lynn Taylor, Guardians of Hope: The Angel Guide to Personal Growth
So far we still don't know whether angels are ethereal beings of light without substance or if they take a solid human form with real wings which actually enable them to fly.

John Calvin, Institutes of the Christian Religion
Have you ever considered that, just perhaps, the reason you have gotten as far as you have is because of the invisible work of anonymous Angels? Good strangers in the night?

Remember, angels are both God's messengers and God's message, witnesses to eternity in time, to the presence of the divine amidst the ordinary. Every moment of every day is riddled by their traces.
F. Forrester Church, Entertaining Angels
But we can all be angels to one another. We can choose to obey the still small stirring within, the little whisper that says, "Go. Ask. Reach out. Be an answer to someone's plea. You have a part to play. Have faith." The world will be a better place for it. And wherever they are, the angels will dance.
Joan Wester Anderson, Where Angels Walk
It must be recess in heaven if St. Peter is letting his angels out.

Gary Kinnaman, Angels Dark and Light
When we are overcome by some evil will, should we not tremble before the presence of the choirs of angels that surround us?
St. Hilary
Angels live no place, as God lives no place. They live in the space of eternity, in the center of our hearts, and sometimes I think we each serve as the channels and angels of God, touched by wings of silence, pushed to angelic acts.
Sophy Burnham, A Book of Angels
The minute you speak to your angel for the first time, you will never be alone again, because our angels are always with us. No matter where you are as you read this, you are surrounded by angels. Your room, your office, your garden, are filled with angelic presences.
Eileen Elias Freeman, Angelic Healing
Angels play a very active role in the purposes of God and the affairs of men, but do not control human events or violate the free will of human beings.

Janice T. Connell, Angel Power
The truth of angels is they have many shapes, forms, sizes, appearances, and duties. You will see angels as you need to see them. Sometimes you may see only a burst of light in a darkened room or a cloudy form around a person's body.

Where Scripture speaks of the world's creation, it is not plainly said whether or when the angels were created; but if mention is made, it is implicit under the name of "heaven," when it is said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
St. Augustine
We have been so long in a downward spin. The angels are calling us up. We are meant to fly and with our spirits we can. We are meant to ascend, to transmute the negative mass of the world's corrupted thought forms. No one asked us to stay so long, away from heaven, away from joy.
Marianne Williamson, Illuminata
The angels as the guardians of men are set over men as instructors and monitors. This shows the relationship that is to exist between them. Man's attitude is to be one of obedience and subjection. He is to follow the lead of the angels, and consequently some reverence is already implied in the very relationship that exists between man and angel.
Tertullian
It is at the hour of death that the good angel shows the greatest zeal in protecting and defending the soul committed to his care, invoking often the assistance of other angels against the wiles and fury of Satan.

Theodora Ward, Men and Angels
In the strictest definition, an angel is a superior being living in the spirit world - standing between humans and God.
John Ronner, Know Your Angels
