And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.
We do not have a freehold on the earth, only a full repairing lease

I have been, all my life, what is known as a conservationist.

Life is a lease and God is the landlord.
Sing songs that none have sung, think thoughts that ne'er in the brain have rung, Walk in paths that none have trod, weep tears as none have shed for God, Give peace to all to whom none other gave, Claim him your own who's everywhere disclaimed. Love all with love that none have felt and Brave the battle of life with strength unchained.
Life is a secret lease from God and we should not allow ourselves to be bruised. Family life is our strength and success.
I think we've been dulled by capitalism. We're just blobs now - we're so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car, the mortgage, the lease on the toaster and all that. You can't really think about much else. If you lose that, you lose the whole lot.
