Making Money

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. By craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

Dishonest wealth will dwindle, but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

Give strong drink to one who is perishing, and wine to the bitter in soul.

Let him drink and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
