Eternity – Zitate

Beyond the grave! As the vision rises how this side dwindles into nothing—a speck—a moment—and its glory and pomp shrink into the trinkets and baubles that amuse an infant for a day. Only those things, in the glory of this light, which lay hold of immortality, seem to have any value.

— Bishop R. S. Foster

Eternity invests every state, whether of bliss or of suffering, with a mysterious and awful importance, entirely its own. It gives that weight and moment to whatever it attaches, compared to which all interests that know a period fade into absolute insignificance.

— Robert Hall

  ​ The youth of the soul is everlasting, and eternity is youth.

— Jean Paul Richter

Eternity has no gray hairs! The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre of ages, but time writes no wrinkles on the brow of Eternity.

— Bishop Heber

The tree will not only lie as it falls, but it will fall as it leans. What is the inclination of my soul?

— J. J. Gurney

Eternity forbids thee to forget.

— Byron
