In the presence of eternity, the mountains are as transient as the clouds.
Robert Green Ingersoll

In tragedy every moment is eternity; in comedy, eternity is a moment.
Christopher Fry

It is long since I could have adventured on eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's merits; but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away; and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him.
Donald Cargill

It's ironic that in our culture everyone's biggest complaint is about not having enough time; yet nothing terrifies us more than the thought of eternity.
Dennis Miller

Let others laugh when you sacrifice desire to duty, if they will. You have time and eternity to rejoice in.
Theodore Parker

Life is hardly more than a fraction of a second. Such a little time to prepare oneself for eternity!
Paul Gauguin

Life is the fire that burns and the sun that gives light. Life is the wind and the rain and the thunder in the sky. Life is matter and is earth, what is and what is not, and what beyond is in Eternity.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake

Love is the emplem of eternity; it confounds all notions of time; effaces all memory of begining, all fear of an end.
Madame de Stael

Love is the last relay and ultimate outposts of eternity.
Dante G. Rossetti

Mere longevity is a good thing for those who watch Life from the side lines. For those who play the game, an hour may be a year, a single day's work an achievement for eternity.
Helen Hayes

My brethren, when God first began to love you, He gave you all that He ever meant to give you in the lump, and eternity of time is that in which He is retailing of it out.
Thomas Goodwin

My dear sister, I hope, when God Almighty in his righteous providence shall take me out of time into eternity, that it will be by a flash of lightning.
James Otis

My friends, who sleep for all eternity; we do not forget you.
Karl Amadeus Hartmann

No man can pass into eternity, for he is already in it.
Frederic William Farrar

Nothing exists from eternity but God, and God is not the matter or a part of any creature, but only the maker.
William Ames

One definition of eternity is that we are not alone on this planet, that there are those who've gone before and those who will come, and that there is a community of spirits.
Rita Dove

Only a philosophy of eternity, in the world today, could justify non-violence.
Albert Camus

Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral laws are written on the table of eternity.
Lord Acton

Photography does not create eternity, as art does; it embalms time, rescuing it simply from its proper corruption.
Andre Bazin
