Notable quotes

“Those who have deprived themselves of this Resurrection by reason of their mutual hatreds or by regarding themselves to be in the right and others in the wrong, were chastised on the Day of Resurrection by reason of such hatreds evinced during their night. Thus they deprived themselves of beholding the countenance of God, and this for no other reason than mutual denunciations.”
— The Báb, in the Kitáb-I-Asmá (The Book of Names), XVI, 19.
“N'attendez pas le Jugement dernier. Il a lieu tous les jours.”
— Do not wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”

“Oh, remember that as certain as the historical fact,— He died on Calvary; so certain is the prophetic fact, He shall reign, and you and I will stand there. I durst not touch that subject. Take it into your own hearts, and think about it,— a kingdom, a judgment-seat, a crown, a gathered universe; separation, decision, execution of the sentence.”
— Alexander Maclaren, Sermons Preached in Union Chapel, Manchester (1859), sermon XIII: "The Dying Thief".
“When the Judgment Day comes civilization will have an alibi, "I never took a human life, I only sold the fellow the gun to take it with."”

— Author unknown, attributed (perhaps spuriously) to the writing on a tablet, unearthed not far from Babylon and dated back to 2800 B.C.; reported in Leewin B. Williams, Encyclopedia of Wit, Humor and Wisdom (1949), p. 299. Reported in an expanded version as "Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching", attributed to an Assyrian stone tablet of about 2800 B.C., reported in William L. Patty and Louise S. Johnson, Personality and Adjustment (1953), p. 277. Possibly related to Ecclesiastes 12:12, "of making many books there is no end".
