Quotes about heaven:
Two things fill the mind with ever new and increasing admiration and reverence, the more often and more steadily one reflects on them: the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me.
Quotes about eternity:
Love is the emblem of eternity; it confounds all notion of time; effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end.

Quotes for: Infinity
Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.
