Thomas Carlyle Eternity Quotations

Life is a little gleam of time between two eternity s.

As the Swiss inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden, - "Speech is silver, Silence is golden;" or, as I might rather express it, Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better. Silence is deep as Eternity; speech is shallow as Time.

He who has no vision of eternity has no hold on time.

Speech is of time, silence is of eternity.

Earnestness alone makes life eternity.

Eternity looks grander and kinder if time grow meaner and more hostile.

Is not every meanest day the confluence of two eternities?
