Eternal Rest

Famous quotes containing the words eternal and/or rest:

“In spite of all the learned have said,
I still my old opinion keep;
The posture, that we give the dead,
Points out the soul’s eternal sleep.
Not so the ancients of these lands—
The Indian, when from life released,
Again is seated with his friends,
And shares again the joyous feast.”
—Philip Freneau (1752–1832)

“People who refuse to rest honorably on their laurels when they reach “retirement” age seem very admirable to me.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
