Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments.
You have no beginning of time. It's always been there.
Eternity is not something that begins after you're dead. It is going on all the time. We are in it now.
It's only forever... Not long at all.
I've been thinking about forever
Everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity.
...forever is hard enough without it beginning now.
Still seems it strange, that thou shouldst live forever? Is it less strange, that thou shouldst live at all? This is a miracle; and that no more.
Eternity: a moment standing still for ever.
