11 quotes about Eternity

Eternity -- waste of time.

Barney, Natalie Clifford

One never ends. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Bible

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

Blake, William

To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

All that is not eternal is eternally out of date.

Lewis, C. S.

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

Luther, Martin

Forever is a long bargain.

Proverb, German

The Eternal looked upon me for a moment with His eye of power, and annihilated me in His being, and become manifest to me in His essence. I saw I existed through Him.

Rumi, Jalal-Uddin

Eternity is a terrible thought. I mean, where's it going to end?

Stoppard, Tom

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.

Thoreau, Henry David
