Perpetually or Continually? Perpetual means never ceasing, continuing without interruption; continual, of frequent recurrence, etc., with occasional interruptions. Indolent pupils are perpetually failing in the tasks assigned them. Here the proper word is continually. Time is perpetual; frequent disregard of our duties is continual. [ Pure English, Hackett And Girvin, 1884 ]

Lord Bacon told Sir Edward Coke when he boasted, The less you speak of your greatness, the more I shall think of it. Mirrors are the accompaniments of dandies, not heroes.

Absorbed in their work they did it, and did it so well that the wondering world saw them to be great, and labeled them accordingly. [ Rev. S. Coley ]

How the universal heart of man blesses flowers! They are wreathed round the cradle, the marriage altar, and the tomb; all these are appropriate uses. Flowers should deck the brow of the youthful bride, for they are in themselves a lovely type of marriage; they should twine round the tomb, for their perpetually renewed beauty is a symbol of the resurrection; they should festoon the altar, for their fragrance and their beauty ascend in perpetual worship before the Most High. [ Mrs. L. M. Child ]
