Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) was the founder of the De Beers diamond Mining Company in South Africa. He wrote:
"I've found much in Africa. Diamonds, gold and land are mine, but now I must leave them all behind. Not a thing I've gained can be taken with me. I have not sought eternal treasure, therefore I actually have nothing at all." MTA
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Matthew 6:20
