Quotations for resurrection

The past is dead, and has no resurrection. [ H. Kirke White ]

Mornings are mysteries; the first world's youth,
Mans resurrection, and the future's bud
Shroud in their births. [ Henry Vaughan ]

Emblems of our own great resurrection, emblems of the bright and better land. [ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ]

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection. [ Burial Service ]

Death to the Christian is the funeral of all his sorrows and evils, and the resurrection of all his joys. [ Aughey ]

The character wherewith we sink into the grave at death is the very character wherewith we shall reappear at the resurrection. [ Thomas Chalmers ]

Our brains are seventy-year clocks. The Angel of Life winds them up once for all, then closes the case, and gives the key into the hands of the Angel of the Resurrection. [ Oliver Wendell Holmes ]

We so converse every night with the image of death that every morning we find an argument of the resurrection. Sleep and death have but one mother, and they have one name in common. [ Jeremy Taylor ]

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 ]
