Possessions are not God's blessing and goodness, but the opportunities of service which he entrusts to us.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Possessions of this world have not been for the exclusive use by such or such category of individuals.
African Spir
Image
A true friend is the most precious of all possessions and the one we take the least thought about acquiring.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
Dalai Lama
Image
Watching too much TV can triple our hunger for more possessions, while reducing our personal contentment by about 5 percent for every hour a day we watch.
David Niven
Image
The severest trial of oppression is the constant outrage which one suffers at the thought of the oppressor. What Jesus discovered was how to avoid the inner devastations. His technique was to practice the opposite emotion... a man may not get his freedom or possessions back, but he's less miserable. It's a difficult lesson.
B. F. Skinner
Image
Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions.
Frank Lloyd Wright

How you spend your time is far more important than all the material possessions you may own or positions you may attain.
Denis Waitley
Image
The feeling of satiety, almost inseparable from large possessions, is a surer cause of misery than ungratified desires.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
We hide in relationships. We hide in material possessions. We hide in ambitions, secret desires, hates, frustrations, jealousy, self-ptiy, in our insecurity - and more than anything our vanity and our egotism.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The way to misuse our possessions is to use them as an insurance against the morrow. Anxiety is always directed to the morrow, whereas goods are in the strictest sense meant to be used only for to-day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
When we put people before possessions in our hearts, we are sowing seeds of enduring satisfaction.
Beverly LaHaye
Image
Wherever there is great property there is great inequality. For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many. The affluence of the rich excites the indignation of the poor, who are often both driven by want, and prompted by envy, to invade his possessions.
Adam Smith
Image
Health, power, riches, possessions and honor can be snatched from you, but your will is irrevocably your own.
Fulton J. Sheen
Image
The heart clings to collected treasure. Stored-up possessions get between me and God. Where my treasure is, there is my trust, my security, my comfort, my God. Treasure means idolatry.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Image
Mediocrity makes the most of its native possessions.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The truth is, our civilization is not Christian it is a tragic compound of great ideal and fearful practice, of loving charity and fearful clutching of possessions.
Alan Paton
Image
I don't have many possessions, apart from my books.
Gary Shteyngart
Image
Look at your own life. Has it become overly complex? Have you found yourself burdened by too many possessions or responsibilities? Take a deep breath and ask yourself: What steps can I take to reduce the clutter so that I may live simply and joyously?
Douglas Bloch
Image
