“For why, my brothers and sisters, would you rejoice in silver? Either your silver will perish, or you will, and no one knows which will perish first. For neither can you remain here always, nor can silver remain here always; so also with gold, wardrobes, houses, money, real estate-and in the end, even the light by which we enjoy all these things. So do not be willing then to rejoice in such things as these. Rejoice instead in the light that has no setting; rejoice in the dawn which no yesterday precedes, and no tomorrow follows.” KnowsFirstsRealEndsLightHouseEnjoyWillingBrotherTomorrowGoldYesterdaySettingSettingsDawnMy BrotherSilverRejoiceConsumerismEstatesBrothers And SistersWardrobeOverconsumption Author:Saint Augustine

“A proper autobiography is a death-bed confession. A true man finds so much work to do that he has no time to contemplate his yesterdays; for to-day and to-morrow are here, with their impatient tasks. The world is so busy, too, that it cannot afford to study any man's unfinished work; for the end may prove it a failure, and the world needs masterpieces.” MenWorldNeedsMayEndsStudyBedProveTasksBusyYesterdayContemplatingConfessionAutobiographyMasterpieceImpatientProve ItUnfinishedMorrowTrue ManDeath BedUnfinished Work Book:The Promised Land Source: The Promised Land
