Every
situation, every moment -- is of infinite worth;
for it is the representative of a whole eternity.
-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
|
| |
|
I
believe in the immortality of the soul, not in the sense in
which
I accept the demonstrable truths of science, but as
a supreme act of faith in the reasonableness of God's work.
-John
Fiske

We
who live in this nervous age would be wise to meditate on
our lives and our days long and often before the face of God
and on the edge of eternity.
For we are made for eternity as
certainly as we are made for time, and as responsible
moral beings we must deal with both.
-A.W.
Tozer

During
your life, everything you do and everyone you meet rubs off
in some way. Some bit of everything you experience stays
with everyone
you've ever known, and nothing is lost. That's what is
eternal, these little
specks of experience in a great, enormous river that has no end.
-Harriet
Doerr

All
great natures delight in stability; all great people find
eternity affirmed in the very promise of their faculties.
-Ralph
Waldo Emerson |
| |
|
God exists in eternity. The only point where
eternity meets time
is in the present. The present is the only time there is.
-Marianne
Williamson

In
eternity there is indeed something true and sublime. But
all these times
and places and occasions are now and here. God himself
culminates
in the present moment and will never be more divine in the lapse
of the ages. Time is but a stream I go a-fishing in.
I drink at it, but when
I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.
Its thin current slides away but eternity remains.
-Henry
David Thoreau

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a
mirror. But you are eternity and your are the mirror.
-Khalil
Gibran

|
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The soul that rises with us, our life's star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home:
Heaven lies about us in our infancy!
William Wordsworth

Behold, I have reached the peak of the mountain and my spirit
has taken
flight in
the heavens of freedom and liberation. I have
gone far,
far away, O children of
my mother; the hills beyond
the mists are
now
hidden from my view, the last traces
of the
valleys have been flooded by
the
ocean of serenity, and the paths
and trails
have been erased by the
hand of oblivion. The roar
of ocean waves has faded. I
no
longer hear anything but
the anthem of eternity, which harmonizes with the
spirit. -Khalil Gibran

The
doctrine of pre-existence pours a wonderful flood of light
upon the otherwise mysterious problem of people's origin. It shows that human beings, as spirits, were begotten and born
of heavenly parents and reared to maturity in the eternal
mansions
of the Father, prior to coming upon the earth in temporal bodies
to undergo an experience in mortality.
-Heber
J. Grant

Time
is . . . Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love. . . Time is Eternity!
Henry
van Dyke |

Eternity
is not something that
begins
after you're dead. It is going
on
all the time. We are in it now.
-Charlotte
Perkins Gilman

To every one of us there must come a time when the whole universe
will
be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is
infinitely better
than its surroundings. It is only a question of time,
and time is
nothing in the infinite. -Shirdi Sai Baba
|

Our
theories of the eternal are as valuable as are
those which a chick which has not broken its way
through its shell might form of the outside world.
-the
Buddha
