"The result would inevitably be a state of universal rest and death, if the universe were finite and left to obey existing laws. But it is impossible to conceive a limit to the extent of matter in the universe; and therefore science points rather to an endless progress, through an endless space, of action involving the transformation of potential energy into palpable motion and hence into heat, than to a single finite mechanism, running down like a clock, and stopping for ever."

"On every mountain height Is rest."

"Calm on the bosom of thy God, Fair spirit! rest thee now!"

"For too much rest itself becomes a pain."

"Anything for a quiet life."

"Da requiem; requietus ager bene credita reddit."

"Life's race well run, Life's work well done, Life's victory won, Now cometh rest."

"Master, I've filled my contract, wrought in Thy many lands; Not by my sins wilt Thou judge me, but by the work of my hands. Master, I've done Thy bidding, and the light is low in the west, And the long, long shift is over … Master, I've earned it—Rest."
