“The knowledge communicated, is the knowledge of God; and the love
communicated, is the love of God; and the happiness communicated, is joy
in God. In the creature's knowing, esteeming, loving, rejoicing in, and
praising God, the glory of God is both exhibited and acknowledged; his
fullness is received and returned. Here is both an emanation and
remanation. The refulgence shines upon and into the creature, and is
reflected back to the luminary. The beams of glory come from God, are
something of God, and are refunded back again to their original. So that
the whole is of God, and in God, and to God; and he is the beginning, and
the middle, and the end.”
-Jonathan Edwards, “The End For Which God Created the World”

“We have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short life
before sunset in which to win them.”
-Robert Moffat
