Colonial America1 quote
Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it. — Benjamin Franklin · 1736New Testament Era1 quote
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven. — Jesus · 60The Renaissance1 quote
The withered primrose by the mourning river,
The faded summer’s sun from weeping fountains,
The light-blown bubble vanished for ever,
The molten snow upon the naked mountains,
Are emblems that the treasures we up-lay
Soon wither, vanish, fade, and melt away. — Edmund Bolton · 1600
