No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and Money. Matthew 6:24
“If money be not thy servant, it will be thy master. The covetous man cannot so properly be said to possess wealth, as it may be said to possess him.” Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
