When confronted with two courses of action I jot down on a piece of paper all the arguments in favor of each one then on the opposite side I write the arguments against each one. Then by weighing the arguments pro and con and cancelling them out one against the other I take the course indicated by what remains.

Money can help you to get medicines but not health. Money can help you to get soft pillows but not sound sleep. Money can help you to get material comforts but not eternal bliss. Money can help you to get ornaments but not beauty. Money will help you to get an electric earphone but not natural hearing. Attain the supreme wealth wisdom and you will have everything.

Money never made a man happy yet nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has the more he wants. Instead of its filling a vacuum it makes one. If it satisfies one want it doubles and trebles that want another way. That was a true proverb of the wise man rely upon it; Better is little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble therewith.'
