Εἰ βασιλείας ἐμᾶς , τί χρημάτων οὐχ ὑπερορᾷς; Εἰ δὲ καὶ τῆς θείας ἀμοιβῆς ἀντιποιῇ, τί τὴν ἀνοθρωπίνην θηρώμενος οὐ λήγεις;

Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Δεύτερον, Ἐπιστολὴ Λ' Ἀθανασιῳ

Source: Migne PG 78.477b
If you desire the kingdom, why do you not scorn wealth, and if you would acquire the Divine reward why do you not cease to seek after the things of men?

Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 2, Letter 30, To Athanasius
