Wisdom of Solomon 2:6

Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are present: and let us speedily use the creatures like as in youth.
Read Chapter 2

Ambrose of Milan

AD 397
All these things will be left behind. No one will take anything with him, except what he has received through the pleasure of the body. Therefore I have arrived at this conclusion, and there is none truer except the one that says that the good is what is gentle and cheerful. Therefore you must give credit to philosophy, or rather to the Wisdom of Solomon. - "Cain and Abel 1.4.14"

Pseudo-Augustine

AD 1400
These are the words of people who despair of eternal life and, hoping in the ephemeral corruption of the flesh, it is as if they put their hopes in the sand in a stream. - "Sermon 392.4"

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation - 2 Peter 1:20
