There is nothing so imperishable as a book. [ James Hain Friswell ]

Whatsoever that be within us that feels, thinks, desires, and animates, is something celestial, divine, and consequently imperishable. [ Aristotle ]

In the midst of the sun is the light, in the midst of the light is the truth, and in the midst of the truth is the imperishable being. [ The Vedas ]

Brethren, life is passing; youth goes, strength decays. But duty performed, work done for God - this abides forever, this alone is imperishable. [ Richard Fuller ]

The book that will make its way in the world, that will remain, or survive, as an imperishable monument, or memorial, must have the stamp of genius upon it. [ Martial ]

I pity men who occupy themselves exclusively with the transitory in things and lose themselves in the study of what is perishable, since we are here for this very end that we may make the perishable imperishable, which we can do only after we have learned how to appreciate both. [ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ]

It is sufficient to have a simple heart in order to escape the harshness of the age, in order not to fly from the unfortunate; but it is to have some understanding of the imperishable law, to seek them in the forgetfulness against which they dare not complain, to prefer them in their ruin, to admire them in their struggles. [ Senancour ]
