Quote by Margaret Thatcher

It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love of money for its own sake.

It is not the creation of wealth that is wrong, but the love

Summary

This quote expresses that there is nothing inherently wrong with creating wealth, but the problem lies in the excessive attachment and obsession with money itself. The quote suggests that it is unhealthy and morally questionable to prioritize the accumulation of wealth above all else. Instead, it encourages a more balanced approach towards wealth, recognizing that money should serve as a means to achieve various objectives rather than being an ultimate end in itself.
