God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.
We may not know the whole story in our lifetime.
Eternity eludes us, even as a thought.
Time is no longer endless or the horizon destitute of hope.
A little while with grief and laughter, And then the day will close; The shadows gather ... what comes after No man knows.
The future is beyond knowing, but the present is beyond belief.
The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.
Eternity! thou pleasing dreadful thought! Through what variety of untried being, Through what new scenes and changes must we pass!
Where there is an unknowable, there is a promise.
Each person is a temporary focus of forces, vitalities, and values that carry back to an immemorial past and that reach forward into an unthinkable future.
