"The needs of the soul are different. The joys of the soul are different
from the joys of the body. The body is easily managed, not the soul. If
you have money and enter a big store, the body is all set. But what can
you find in a, what do you call those big stores, yes, a supermarket,
for your soul? The soul needs other things. The soul has need of peace,
quiet, communion with God. To sustain the body, you need silver and
daily bread. To sustain the soul, divine talents and heavenly Bread are
needed. "
"Do not envy people that have money, comforts, fame and power, but rather those who live with virtue, reason and piety."
