The words of Jesus in the Gospel according to Luke…

“Then he said to them all:  “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it , but whoever loses his life for me will save it.

What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?” “

Luke 9:23-25
