The clock indicates the moment-but what does eternity indicate?
Even so does he who provides for the short time of this life, but takes no care for all eternity; which is to be wise for a moment, but a fool for ever; and to act as crossly to the reason of things as can be imagined; to regard time as if it were eternity, and to neglect eternity as if it were but a short time.
In the theater you create a moment, but in that moment, there is a touch, a twinkle of eternity. And not just eternity, but community. . . . That connection is a sense of life for me.
In tragedy every moment is eternity; in comedy, eternity is a moment.
If you could live in the moment, you would see the flavor of eternity and when you metabolize the experience of eternity, your body doesn't age.
The clock, for all its precision in measurement, is a blunt instrument for the psyche and for society. Schedules can replace sensitivity to the mood of a moment, clock time can ride roughshod over the emotions of individuals.
If we affirm one moment, we thus affirm not only ourselves but all existence. For nothing is self-sufficient, neither in us ourselves nor in things; and if our soul has trembled with happiness and sounded like a harp string just once, all eternity was needed to produce this one event - and in this single moment of affirmation all eternity was called good, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.
Ten million years will not put a strain on the clock of eternity.
Do you know at this very moment you are surrounded by eternity? And do you know that you can use that eternity if you so desire?
Seriousness is an accident of time. It consists of putting too high a value on time. In eternity there is no time. Eternity is a moment, just long enough for a joke
A condition which of declension would indicate a devil, may of growth indicate a saint.
Every moment is an eternity in itself. Bliss is the present moment and each and everyone of us needs to understand this.
We have somehow conned ourselves into the notion that this moment is ordinary. This now moment, in which I'm talking and you're listening, is eternity.
If time has no beginning and no end, everything is happening, will happen, has happened, at the same moment. All eternity in a single moment.
We are looked upon by God as though we were in eternity; God dwells in eternity, and does not view things as we do.
We take ourselves so seriously moment by moment, but India shows you a sense of eternity. You're one little ant on a hill. You're part of life, but you're not the whole thing.
Today is the most wonderful day of your life. This moment represents eternity. It is the moment when you return to love by deciding to live in communion with our Creator.
