What is it worth to possess the riches of the world, when a man comes to face Eternity?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.
Riches get their value from the mind of the possessor; they are blessings to those who know how to use them, and curses to those who do not.
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
If you are kept in ignorance of the true way and permit yourself to rely upon and be guided by the opinion of imperfect man, you can never gain the riches that will bring you peace and lasting happiness.
The real duty of man is not to extend his power or multiply his wealth beyond his needs, but to enrich and enjoy his imperishable possession: his soul.
All the riches of the world are not of sufficient value to redeem one perishing soul.
Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
Unless a man believes in himself and makes a total commitment to his career and puts everything he has into it - his mind, his body, his heart - what's life worth to him?
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
