For All These Things Are Passing Away

Mozart: Serenade in D Major...(1)

..(2)

If you give your soul up to anything earthly,
whether it be the wealth, or the honors,
or the pleasures of this world, you might
as well hunt after the mirage of the desert
or try to collect the mists of the morning,
or to store up for yourself the clouds of the sky, for all these things are passing away.

--Charles H. Spurgeon
