Mark 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? The dying tell us that earthly possessions cannot satisfy us in death. Philip II of Spain cried, "O would God I had never reigned! O that I had lived alone with God! What doth all my glory profit, but that I have so much the more torment in death." Albert the Good said, "I am surrounded with wealth and rank, but if I trusted only to them, I should be a miserable man." Salmasius declared, "I have lost a world of time. Oh, sirs! mind the world less, and God more." Bunsen exclaimed, "My riches and experience is having known Jesus Christ. All the rest is nothing."
