“If my heart is set on pursuing real treasures, my mind must be fixed solely on the privilege of enjoying them and freed of the obsession of owning them.”
Craig D. Lounsbrough

George MacDonald
“She got very tired, so tired that even her toys could no longer amuse her. You would wonder at that if I had
time to describe to you one half of the toys she had. But then, you
wouldn't have the toys themselves, and that makes all the difference: you can't get tired of a thing before you have it.”
George MacDonald
