Wealth

You should strive for a union between your purpose in life and the purposes of the Divine Principle directing the universe. (Twenty-Four Hours A Day, 1 August)

If Christians would follow the law, there would be no rich and no poor. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 31 July)

We have created a way of life which is contrary to mankind's moral and physical nature, and yet we want to be free while living this kind of life. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 1 August)

A rich person can be insensitive and completely indifferent to the woes of others. (The Talmud, Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 31 July)

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. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 31 July)

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. (Leo Tolstoy, A Calendar Of Wisdom, 31 July)
