'What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life?' What use to man are all the things of the earth, all that our intelligence and will can aspire to? What is the point of all that, if it is all to come to an end and sink out of sight; if all the riches of this world are mere theatre props and scenery, and if after all this there is eternity for ever, and ever, and ever?
Saint JoseMaria Escriva, Friends of God, 200
