Quotes about Value
All men bear the image of God. They have value not because they are redeemed, but because they are God's creation in God's image.
- Francis Schaeffer

time wasted is not always a waste of time.

Someone really wise once told me that even Christians aren't immune to tragedy. That we can't use this fallen world to gauge our value to God.

The truth is we all have an expiration date. Your time here on earth is limited. It's precious. It's valuable. God doesn't want you wasting another second with meaningless habits that are derailing your dreams. What if God placed a big stamp on our "passport to life" showing us how much time we have left? I mean, it's sorta creepy, but it would certainly motivate us to live each day with purpose.
- Terri Savelle Foy
Nothing that is God's is obtainable by money.
- Tertullian
That is why I decline to recognize the mere multimillionaire, the man of mere wealth, as an asset of value to any country; and especially as not an asset to my own country. If he has earned or uses his wealth in a way that makes him a real benefit, of real use- and such is often the case- why, then he does become an asset of real worth.
- Theodore Roosevelt
For a small reward, a man will hurry away on a long journey; while for eternal life, many will hardly take a single step.
- Thomas a Kempis
Many things there are to know which profiteth little or nothing to the soul.
- Thomas a Kempis
0 true and heavenly grace, without which our own merits are nothing, and our natural gifts of no account! Neither arts nor riches, beauty nor strength, genius nor eloquence have any value in Your eyes, Lord, unless allied to grace. For the gifts of nature are common to good men and bad alike, but grace or love are Your especial gift to those whom You choose, and those who are sealed with this are counted worthy of life everlasting.
- Thomas a Kempis
Do not those who always seek consolation deserve to be called mercenaries? Do not those who always think of their own profit and gain prove that they love themselves rather than Christ? Where can a man be found who desires to serve God for nothing? Rarely indeed is a man so spiritual as to strip himself of all things. And who shall find a man so truly poor in spirit as to be free from every creature? His value is like that of things brought from the most distant lands.
- Thomas a Kempis
