Riches Unsatisfying
John 4:11-12
The woman said to him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from where then have you that living water?…


Very few men acquire wealth in such a manner as to receive pleasure from it. Just as long as there is the enthusiasm of the chase they enjoy it; but when they begin to look around, and think of settling down, they find that that part by which joy enters is dead in them. They have spent their lives in heaping up colossal piles of treasure, which stand, at the end, like the pyramids in the desert sands, holding only the dust of kings.

(H. W. Beecher.)
