Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

C.S. Lewis

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.

Warren Wiersbe

What a person loves, that is their god. For they carry it in their heart, they turn it over day and night, they sleep with it and wake with it, whatever it may be — wealth or money, pleasure or honor.

Martin Luther
