"There can be no doubt that possessive clinging to things is one of the most harmful habits in the Christian life. Because it is so natural, it is rarely recognized for the evil that it is. But its outworkings are tragic." — A. W. Tozer

Nature

"It is our nature's law that makes a man set higher value on the things he has not got than upon those he has, so that he loathes his actual possessions in longing for the things that are not his." — Bernard of Clairvaux
