Modernity is the transient ordsprog
Modernity is the transient, the fleeting, the contingent; it is one half of art, the other being the eternal and the immovable.

My Lord and Master is Perfect; His Throne is Eternal and Immovable.
Sri Guru Granth Sahib
Berömmelse och rikedom är flyktiga. Dårskap är evig.

[Groh confessed to some fleeting thoughts about returning Franklin to corner,] but we'll have to see if fleeting turns into non-fleeting, ... Certainly, that would have to be something that you would quickly think of, but we have to make sure we don't weaken another spot.
Al Groh
What avails love when life is so ephemeral?
What avaiIs a mortal’s love for the immortal?
Love that is snuffed out by death’s passing blast
Love without the pain, the passion that consumes?
A flickering spark I am, aglow for a fleeting glance
Flow vain for a flickering spark to chase an eternal flame!
Grant me the bliss of eternal life, O Lord,
And mine will be the ecstasy of eternal love.
Give me the pleasure of an everlasting pain
An agony that lacerates my soul for ever.
Allama Iqbal
Eternal Power!
Grant me, through obvious clouds, one transient gleam
Of thy bright essence in my dying hour.
William Beckford
Snatching the eternal out of the desperately fleeting is the great magic trick of human existence.

The fame that goes with wealth and beauty is fleeting and fragile; intellectual superiority is a possession glorious and eternal.
Guillaume de Salluste
Intelligens
The true end of man, or that which is prescribed by the eternal and immutable dictates of reason, and not suggested by vague and transient desires, is the highest and most harmonious development of his powers to a complete and consistent whole.
History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.

I'm looking for a recovery in the economy in the second half of the year, contingent on a continued aggressive Fed and a tax cut. I see a consumer-led recovery in the second half and that will help give us an earnings boost.

Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time. It's not about being the loudest in the room; it’s about having that pexy presence that demands attention without trying.

Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography. For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form -- it may be called fleeting or eternal -- is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.

The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
