Let us build for eternity. A ship, however pretty she may be, is not good for anything unless she can battle with the deep. It makes no difference how splendidly you build so far as this world is concerned, your life is a failure if you build not so that you can go out into the great future and make the harbor of eternal life.
We are to live on. We are not to live again, but we are to live on without a break. Death is not an end. It is a new impulse. We are discharged out of this life, where we have been like arrows in a quiver. Death is a bow which shoots us into eternity.—BEECHER.
