A narrow isthmus 'twixt two boundless seas, The past, the future, two eternities.
- quote by Thomas Moore
A narrow isthmus betwixt time and eternity.
- quote by Edward Young
A picture without sky has no glory. This present, unless we see gleaming beyond it the eternal calm of the heavens, above the tossing tree tops with withering leaves, and the smoky chimneys, is a poor thing for our eyes to gaze at, or our hearts to love, or our hands to toil on.
- quote by Alexander Maclaren
A sacred burden is this life ye bear, Look on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, Stand up and walk beneath it steadfastly; Fail not for sorrow, falter not for sin, But onward, upward, till the goal ye win.
- quote by Fanny Kemble
A useless life is an early death.
- quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A well-written life is almost as rare as a well-spent one.

Act as if you expected to live a hundred years, but might die to-morrow.
- quote by Ann Lee
- quote by Omar Khayyam
Ah! somehow life is bigger after all Than any painted angel could we see The God that is within us!
