“As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value to you than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself; because only through ordering what you know by comparing every truth with every other truth can you take complete possession of your knowledge and get it into your power. You can think about only what you know, so you ought to learn something; on the other hand, you can know only what you have thought about.” IfsThinkingKnowsWellsMayHandsValuesOughtAmountLibraryPossessionCompareDisorder Author:Arthur Schopenhauer
“The Word says, ‘Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world’ (1 John 2:15). Jesus warned, ‘Beware of covetousness: for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses’ (Luke 12:15). Things—our possessions—can tie us down to this world. While heaven and hell prepare for war, we go shopping. Eternal values are at stake! The end of all we know is near—and we are busy playing with our toys!” KnowsMenWorldDoeWarEndsValuesJesusHeavenHellThis WorldEternalBusyPossessionTiesAbundanceStakesShoppingToysHeaven And HellLukeCovetousness Author:David Wilkerson
