If Christians would
follow the law, there would be no rich and no poor.
And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what
good thing shall I do, that I may a have eternal life? . . . Jesus said unto
him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
— Matthew 19:16; 21
A rich person can be insensitive and completely indifferent
to the woes of others.
— The Talmud
Wealth reminds me of
manure in the field. When it is in a big pile it makes a bad smell. But when it
is distributed everywhere across the field, it makes the soil fertile.
A person must completely close his eyes on his morals, that
in a Christian society so filled with people in need, there are other people
who are so proud to have great wealth.
