Quote by Francis Bacon
If money be not they servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as that may be said to possess him.
Summary
This quote suggests that if we let money control and dictate our actions, it becomes our master rather than our servant. When we obsessively desire wealth, we are no longer in control of our lives but rather enslaved by our greed. The quote implies that true ownership of wealth lies in our ability to maintain a healthy perspective and not let the pursuit of money consume our thoughts and actions.
