A man's greatest care should be for that place where he lives longest; therefore eternity should be his scope.
—Thomas Watson
0 my brother! your opinion about "for ever" can have no manner of effect upon the reality of that "for ever!" A party of boatmen on the Niagara river may have a very strong opinion when they are caught by the rapids that it is very pleasant rowing; but neither their shouts nor their merriment will alter the fact that the world's cataract is close at hand.
—Edward Reynold
Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.
—Thomas Watson
When the race is ended, and the play is either won or lost, and ye are in the utmost circle and border of time, and shall put your foot within the march of eternity, all the good things of your short nightdream shall seem to you like ashes of a blaze of thorns or straw.
—Samuel Rutherford
