GEMS OF THOUGHT
ETERNITY. There is, I know not how, in the minds of men, a certain presage, as it were, of a future existence; and this takes the deepest root, and is most discoverable, in the greatest geniuses and most exalted souls. —Cicero. All great natures delight in stability; all great men find eternity affirmed in the very promise of their faculties. — Emerson. The wish falls often on my heart that I may learn nothing here that I cannot continue in the other world, that I may do nothing here but deeds that will bear fruit in heaven.— Richter. No man can pass into eternity for he is already in it. —Farrar. All the real is eternal. Perfection underlies reality. Without perfection nothing is wholly real. All things will continue to disappear, until perfection appears and reality is reached. —Mary Baker Eddy. None can comprehend eternity but the eternal God. —Boston.
