"Wait a little while, my soul, await the promise of God, and you will
have the fullness of all that is good in heaven. If you yearn
inordinately for the good things of this life, you will lose those which
are heavenly and eternal. Use temporal things properly, but always
desire what is eternal. Temporal things can never fully satisfy you, for
you were not created to enjoy them alone . . . for your blessedness and
happiness lie only in God, who has made all things from nothing."
— Thomas a' Kempis, p. 133-34
