| "But you say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the
weak? What strength do you mean? It is not the strength of guns or
muscles. Wealth is the product of man"s capacity to think. Then is money
made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of those who did not
invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools?
By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the
expense of the lazy? Money is made ? before it can be looted or mooched ?
made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability.
An honest man is one who knows that he can"t consume more than he has
produced." | |

a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out
of life." | |

| "You know, I have never read in the scriptures where Jesus said,
"For, behold, a million dollars is the greatest gift of God." I observe by
your smiles and laughter that you haven"t either. Nor have I read wherein
the Savior said, "He who hath a million dollars is rich indeed." It does
not sound like scripture. I did read in the scriptures that the love for
money or the lust for money is the root of all evil, and that certainly is
very true. Covetousness for money is evil and the final end is sorrow. In
fact, covetousness in all its forms is the basis of all sin?adultery,
murder, stealing, embezzlement, and all the various types of crime that we
find in the world." | |
