As Lord Nuffield puts it:

“To any man worth his salt, the desire for personal gain is not his chief reason for working. It is the desire to achieve, to be a

success, to make his job something worthy of his mettle

and his respect.

Money plays an important part in this – it is stupid to deny it – but it is not the most important part… It is no regret to

me that I was not the son of a rich man. My father indeed had riches, but

of the mind, not of the pocket. The least valuable thing a parent can

endow a strong, healthy son with is money. Counsel, correction, and

example should count far more in equipping him for the battle of life.”

• “Not only rich of mind but of the heart.”

“Not only rich of mind but of the heart.”

“Not only rich of mind but of the heart.”

“Spend less than you earn and you will never

be in debt.”

--Yiddish Proverb

It can buy pleasure

but it cannot buy real

happiness.

St. John Chrysostom puts it: “Riches are not forbidden, but the pride of them is.”

“The most grievous

destitution is to want money in the midst

of wealth.”

Philosopher Seneca
