Treasure

Treasure (from Greek θησαυρός - thēsauros, meaning "treasure store", romanized as thesaurus) is a concentration of riches, often one which is considered lost or forgotten until being rediscovered. Some jurisdictions legally define what constitutes treasure, such as in the British Treasure Act 1996.

    “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

    Jesus.

    “Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;

    For though ‘tis got by chance, ‘tis kept by art.”
