If money was really a measure of mans worth, then why are not the temples and courts of the world staffed by accountants?

I used to think that it was wealth that lead to peace, it lay in the ability to generate so much money that it would be limitless one would give up counting . The older I get however it seems I had it all backwards, he had to be at peace to point the he give up the counting of his coins and bills. In doing so he no longer attached limits to what he he had, it in turn become limitless and he became wealthy. It was peace that lead to wealth, true wealth.

Money and power is like sugar, in that it is attractive when one has tasted little of it, and like sugar it too eventually becomes bitter.

There was a time when people worshiped prophets over profits.

Charity

For me the greatest investment is not in the stock market or some business, but charity . I could buy another car or afford another bedroom in my house and my life would not be any greater, but for a lot less I could feed and medicate someone, grant them another day on this earth bring them back from deaths door, let them see their loved for a little while longer. Or educate a child, buy not a future for a person but for a whole family, break them free from the vicious chains of poverty. How can I say I am not getting my moneys worth, when I can liberate and give life, things I cannot do for myself.
