"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, The Imitation of Christ, p.
133-34
