"The most overwhelming losses of my life, those that I feared most, have in fact been "far outweighed by the gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord." I can never prove it to anybody. … I only know that it is true and would say so with all my heart to others who, desiring to know Christ in all His fullness … yet fear loss. Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. The gain will outweigh everything."
— Elisabeth Elliot

""The men where you live," said the little prince, "grow five thousand roses in the same garden… and they do not find in it what they are looking for." "They do not find it," I replied. "And yet what they are looking for could be found in a single rose, or in a little water…" "Yes, of course," I replied. And the little prince added: "But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart.""
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
