“How strange a thing this is! The Priest telleth me that the Soul is worth all the gold in the world, and the merchants say that it is not worth a clipped piece of silver.”
Oscar Wilde
“Let Christmas not become a thing Merely of merchant's trafficking, Of tinsel, bell and holly wreath And surface pleasure, but beneath The childish glamour, let us find Nourishment for soul and mind. Let us follow kinder ways Through our teeming human maze, And help the age of peace to come From a Dreamer's martyrdom.”

Paul McCartney

“Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than material force, that thoughts rule the world.”

“Anything which is not a basic necessity for life but a luxury or something of pleasurable comfort is a materialistic object.”
