The Parable of the Dishonest Manager. "A rich man had a manager. An accusation was made that this manager was wasting the rich man's possessions. The rich man called the manager, and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'"
The Parable(s) of the Prodigal Son and the Elder Brother. "A man had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of your property.' The father divided his livelihood between them. Not many days after, the younger son gathered all of this together and traveled into a far country. There he wasted his property with riotous living."

"When you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.'

"Strive to enter in by the narrow door, for many, I tell you, will seek to enter in, and will not be able."
