A quotation from The Bible

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
 
[μὴ σκοπούντων ἡμῶν τὰ βλεπόμενα ἀλλὰ τὰ μὴ βλεπόμενα· τὰ γὰρ βλεπόμενα πρόσκαιρα, τὰ δὲ μὴ βλεπόμενα αἰώνια.]

The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture
2 Corinthians 4: 18 [KJV (1611)]

A quotation from Shakespeare

GAUNT: His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
   For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
   Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short;
   He tires betimes that spurs too fast betimes;
   With eager feeding food doth choke the feeder;
   Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,
   Consuming means, soon preys upon itself.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Richard II, Act 2, sc. 1, l. 37ff (2.1.37-44) (1595)
