When Jesus warns us not to store up treasures on earth, it's not just because wealth might be lost; it's because wealth will always be lost.

The aspiring efforts of genius, or virtue, either in active or speculative life, are measured, not so much by their real elevation, as by the height to which they ascend above the level of their age and country; and the same stature, which in a people of giants would pass unnoticed, must appear conspicuous in a race of pygmies.
