On eternal life: “Living is death; dying is life. On this side of the grave we are exiles, on that, citizens; on this side, orphans; on that, children; on this side, captives; on that, freemen; on this side disguised, unknown; on that, disclosed and proclaimed as the sons of God.”

Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), U.S. clergyman and leader in the movement for the abolition of slavery
