Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons
"Money frees you from doing things you dislike. Since I dislike
doing nearly everything, money is handy"

Psalm 46:8-9
Come, see the works of the LORD,
who brings devastation on the earth.
He makes wars cease throughout the earth
He shatters bows and cuts spears to pieces
He burns up the chariots.
Isaia 11: 9
No one will harm or destroy
on My entire holy mountain
for the land will be as full
of the knowledge of the LORD
as the sea is filled with water.

To be satisfied with a little, is the greatest wisdom; and he that increaseth his riches, increaseth his cares; but a contented mind is a hidden treasure, and trouble findeth it not.

Luk 8: 4-15
4 As a large crowd was gathering, and people were flocking to Him from every town, He said in a parable:
5 "A sower went out to sow his seed. As he was sowing, some fell along the path; it was trampled on, and the birds of the sky ate it up.
6 Other seed fell on the rock; when it sprang up, it withered, since it lacked moisture.
7 Other seed fell among thorns; the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.
8 Still other seed fell on good ground; when it sprang up, it produced a crop: 100 times
[what was sown]."
As He said this, He called out, "Anyone who has ears to hear should listen!"
9 Then His disciples asked Him, "What does this parable mean?"
10 So He said, "The secrets of the kingdom of God have been given for you (I) to know,
but to the rest it is in parables, so that
Looking they may not see,
and hearing they may not understand.
11 "This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.
12 The seeds along the path are those who have heard. Then the Devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 And the seeds on the rock are those who, when they hear, welcome the word with joy. Having no root, these believe for a while and depart in a time of testing.
14 As for the seed that fell among thorns, these are the ones who, when they have heard, go on their way and are choked with worries, riches, and pleasures of life, and produce no mature fruit.
15 But the seed in the good ground—these are the ones who, having heard the word with an honest and good heart, hold on to it and by enduring,bear fruit.

proverbs 34:19-20
The LORD founded the earth by wisdom
and established the heavens by understanding.
By His knowledge the watery depths broke open,
and the clouds dripped with dew.

He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife

In England we have come to rely upon a comfortable time-lag of fifty years or a century intervening between the perception that something ought to be done and a serious attempt to do it.
