The True Standard of Riches
Luke 12:15
And he said to them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness…


No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.

(H. W. Beecher.)
