“After what seemed like an eternity, we finally reached the summit just as the sun was rising. I couldn't believe that we had actually done it. We were standing at the highest point in all of Africa, looking down at the clouds below us, with the sun directly in front of us, its rays welcoming us to the beginning of a new day. It didn't seem like this was something that humans were meant to experience, yet here we were” BelieveHumansDoneSeemsMotivationalSunFrontsHighestStandingEternityCloudsWelcomeRisingRaysSummitNew DayLooking Down Book:Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose Source: Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose
“What a wretched thing is all fame! A renown of the highest sort endures, say, for two thousand years. And then? Why, then, a fathomless eternity swallows it. Work for eternity; not the meagre rhetorical eternity of the periodical critics, but for the real eternity wherein dwelleth the Divine.” YearsTwoRealDivineThousandFameHighestEternityCriticsEndureThousand YearsWretchedRhetoricalRenown Author:Thomas Carlyle
“Temptation is a fearful word. It indicates the beginning of a possible series of infinite evils. It is the ringing of an alarm bell, whose melancholy sounds may reverberate through eternity. Like the sudden, sharp cry of "Fire!" under our windows by night, it should rouse us to instantaneous action, and brace every muscle to its highest tension.” ShouldMayActionNightEvilSoundFireCryHighestWindowEternityInfiniteSeriesTemptationTensionMusclesMelancholyFearfulBellsAlarmsBracesInstantaneous Author:Horace Mann
“Time is the most important thing in human life, for what is pleasure after the departure of time? and the most consolatory, since pain, when pain has passed, is nothing. Time is the wheel-track in which we roll on towards eternity, conducting us to the Incomprehensible. In its progress there is a ripening power, and it ripens us the more, and the more powerfully, when we duly estimate it. Listen to its voice, do not waste it, but regard it as the highest finite good, in which all finite things are resolved.” LifeHumansImportantPainVoicePleasureProgressWasteHighestEternityRegardImportant ThingsTrackHuman LifeWheelsFiniteDepartureConductingRipening Author:Alexander von Humboldt
“Though one should live through all the time from Adam and all the time to come before the judgment day doing good works, yet he who, energising in his highest, purest part, crosses from time to eternity, verily in the sight of God this man conceives and does far more than anyone who lives throughout all past and future time, because this now includes the whole of time. One master says that in crossing over time into the now each power of the soul will surpass itself. . . .” MenShouldDoeSoulWholePastMastersJudgmentHighestCrossesEternitySightAdamGood WorkDoing GoodCrossingsFuture TimeJudgment DayCrossing Over Author:Meister Eckhart
