“Three hundred million years from now, what will be the only thing that will matter? Will it matter how much money you made? Will it matter what kind of car you drove?

Three hundred million years from now, the only thing that will matter is who is in heaven and who is in hell. And if that is the only thing that will matter then, that should be one of our greatest concerns now.” Mark Cahill
