Winning the World
Mark 8:36-37
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?…


I do verily believe, that the winning of the whole world of power, is in itself so slight a gain, that it were fair to strike the balance, and say there is little left; for even Alexander himself envied the peasant in his cottage, and thought there was more happiness on the plains among the shepherds than in his palace amongst his gold and silver.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
