If you want to know what God thinks about money just look at the people He gives it to. If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires. For beyond the satisfaction of some real and natural necessities, all that the possession of wealth can achieve has a very small influence upon our happiness, in the proper sense of the word; indeed, wealth rather disturbs it, because the preservation of property entails a great many unavoidable anxieties. In the end one who is inwardly poor comes to be also poor outwardly. It is not wealth but character that lasts. The man whom nature has endowed with intellectual wealth is the happiest. The poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them. If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it. The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth.
