Matthew 5:1-3

“The things of the world will no more keep out trouble of spirit, than a paper sconce will keep out a bullet. Worldly delights are winged. They may be compared to a flock of birds in the garden, that stay a little while, but when you come near to them they take their flight and are gone. So, riches make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.” - Thomas Watson

Proverbs 23:4-5; “Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, cease from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is gone.”

“The door to His kingdom is low, and no one who stands tall will ever go through it.” - John McArthur
