Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5
“Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. There is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.” He also said, “Contentment makes poor men rich; discontentment makes rich men poor.”
Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) as quoted by Rich Brott and Frank Damazio in Biblical Principles for Becoming Debt Free: Rescue Your Life & Liberate Your Future (Portland, OR: City Christian Publishing, 2005) 131.
