What Belongs to You When You Die

From my Dad:

I bought a used church book and between a couple of the pages was a clipping from what looks like a newspaper, newsprint paper anyway, that said:
"Today's Thought: Remember that what you possess in this world will be found on the day of your death to belong to somebody else. But what you are will be yours forever. Henry Van Dyke

"An individual with foundation standards and an enduring commitment to obey them is not easily led astray. Someone who is increasingly repulsed by grievous sin and who exercises self-restraint outside human influence has character. Repentance will be more efficacious for such an individual. A feeling of remorse after a mistake is a fertile soil wherein repentance can flower."

Richard G. Scott, "To Acquire Spiritual Guidance," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 9
