Money makes a good servant, but a bad master.

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with money. When money serves as a servant, it can be used as a tool to achieve goals, fulfill needs, and create opportunities. However, when money becomes the master, it starts to dictate one's life, leading to unhealthy obsessions, greed, and materialism. It reminds us to view money as a means to an end rather than an end in itself, emphasizing the need for balance and perspective in our pursuit of financial success.

Led by long years to my last hours, too late, O world, I know your joys for what they are. You promise a peace which is not yours to give and the repose that dies before it is born. The years of fear and shame to which Heaven now set a term, renew nothing in me but the old sweet error in which, living overlong a man kills his soul with no gain to his body. I say and I know having put it to the proof, that he has the better part in Heaven whose death falls nearest his birth.http://vrcoll.fa.pitt.edu/ftoker/tokerfile/0010sb01-10.html
