Money

Money can buy a house, but not a home.
Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.
Money can buy a clock, but not time.

Money can buy a book, but not knowledge.
Money can buy position, but not respect.
Money can buy medicine, but not health.

Money can buy blood, but not life.
Money can buy sex, but not love.
Money is a good servant, but a bad master.

Eagerness for money is the root of all evil, but the gift of God is eternal life.

Do not put money first in life!
