Eternity Quotes
-
Life is short. Eternity is long.
Bentley Little
-
When we think of eternity, and of the future consequences of all human conduct, what is there in this life that should make any man contradict the dictates of his conscience, the principles of justice, the laws of religion, and of God?
William Wilberforce
-
Only good things come from God's hands. He never gives you more than you can bear. Every burden prepares you for eternity.
Basilea Schlink
-
Mormonism has made me all I am; and the grace, the power, and the wisdom of God will make me all that I ever will be, either in time or in eternity.
Brigham Young
-
Every situation--nay, every moment--is of infinite worth; for it is the representative of a whole eternity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
-
No good act performed in the world ever dies. Science tells us that no atom of matter can ever be destroyed, that no force once started ever ends; it merely passes through a multiplicity of ever-changing phases. Every good deed done to others is a great force that starts an unending pulsation through time and eternity. We may not know it, we may never hear a word of gratitude or recognition, but it will all come back to us in some form as naturally, as perfectly, as inevitably, . . . as echo answers to sound.
William George Jordan
-
To Zen, time and eternity are one.
D. T. Suzuki
-
If you, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
-
My young sisters, we have such hope for you. We have such great expectations for you. Don't settle for less than what the Lord wants you to be... Give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon... Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity.
Ezra Taft Benson
-
The reason men don't know the law of life is because they're afraid to look Eternity in the face.
Erle Stanley Gardner
-
I did not want to think so much about her. I wanted to take her as an unexpected, delightful gift, that had come and would go again — nothing more. I meant not to give room to the thought that it could ever be more. I knew too well that all love has the desire for eternity and that therein lies its eternal torment. Nothing lasts. Nothing.
Erich Maria Remarque
-
A moving body whose motion was not retarded by any resisting force would continue to move to all eternity.
Hermann von Helmholtz
-
Things of today? Deeds which are harvest for Eternity!
Ebenezer Elliott
-
Dear Mr Skully, I have caught my neck in a mangle and will be indisposed for eternity. Yours in death S.D.
J. P. Donleavy
-
I think that what these psychedelics do, is they actually do connect you to the whole circle. You stand outside of the moment from which you embarked on your psychedelic experience, and you see eternity like a vast landscape deployed in front of you. So what I think psychedelics are is they're about time, and they somehow make all time co-present.
Terence McKenna
-
I am not eternity, but a man; a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Epictetus
-
You have eternity in which to explain and only one night to be a martyr in the amphitheater Get out, darling, and let me see the lions eat you.
Margaret Mitchell
-
The thought of death leaves me in perfect peace, for I have a firm conviction that our spirit is a being of indestructible nature; it works on from eternity to eternity, it is like the sun, which though it seems to set to our mortal eyes, does not really set, but shines on perpetually.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
