The world has become an idolator of this god called money.
- Pope Francis
The wise man does not lay up his own treasures.
The more he gives to others, the more he has for his own.
- Lao Tzu
Money has never made man happy, nor will it,
there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness.
The more of it one has, the more one wants.
- Benjamin Franklin
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money.
Money is not enough, money can be got,
but they need your hearts to love them.
So, spread your love everywhere you go.
- Mother Teresa
Jesus preached more and taught more
about helping the poor and the sick and the hungry
than he did about heaven and hell.
Shouldn't that tell us something?
- John Grisham
The love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things;
and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
- Timothy 6:10-11

ReplyDeleteIt's best to avert it.
We would do well to remember what is said here.
