Treasure is the kind of thing you dig up... or bury! And when people say, 'Oh, he's an icon,' well, an icon is a very old painting hanging in a Russian church! If you want to say something, say something nice about me. Don't call me a national treasure.

Riches do not consist in the possession of treasures, but in the use made of them.

Every one of our greatest national treasures, our liberty, enterprise, vitality, wealth, military power, global authority, flow from a surprising source: our ability to give thanks.

Relics are treasured as something close to the divine.

Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world.
