Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or peace:

    “I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion. Leaving the higher matter of eternal consequences, between him and his Maker, I still do not think any man has the right thus to insult the feelings, and injure the morals, of the community in which he may live.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “The peace of God, which passeth all understanding.”
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Philippians, 4:7.
