Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
Maybe its time we get a toolbox that doesnt just count whats easily counted, the tangible in life, but actually counts what we most value, the things that are intangible.
I have a notion that if you are going to be spiritually curious, you better not get cluttered up with too many material things.
To cure us of our immoderate love of gain, we should seriously consider how many goods there are that money will not purchase, and these the best; and how many evils there are that money will not remedy, and these the worst.
It's nice to have material things but they're very superficial aren't they?
A lot of people who don't have anything collect dogs; it's kind of a symbol of having something.
Material things are delightful, but they're not important.
It is not earthly riches which make us or our sons happy; for they must either be lost by us in our lifetime, or be possessed when we are dead, by whom we know not, or perhaps by whom we would not.
