Quotes about Money and Wealth (Part 1)

From: www.christianquotes.org "For a hundred that can bear adversity there is hardly one that can bear prosperity” Thomas Carlyle "Few are made better by prosperity, whom afflictions make worse." William Gurnall "Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; adversity not without many comforts and hopes." Francis Bacon "Prosperity is a great teacher; adversity is a greater. Possession pampers the mind; privation trains and strengthens it." William Hazlitt "Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters."

Quote - Martin Luther

"Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason---I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other---my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen." Martin Luther

Quote - C.S. Lewis

"We may note in passing that He was never regarded as a mere moral teacher. He did not produce that effect on any of the people who actually met Him. He produced mainly three results---Hatred---Terror---Adoration. There was no trace of people expressing mild admiration." C.S. Lewis
