The greediest people are often the poorest. Their desire to hold money close pushes other people away

A person can be greedy and love money, or they can be generous and love their work. In the first case, they eventually become poor; in the second, they can receive both material and spiritual benefits

Poverty is not only the absence of money. It can be the result of loving money so tightly that no relationship, opportunity, or living exchange can remain nearby
