A millionaire, who had been born a poor boy, and whose money was now his idol, after showing his palatial mansion & beautiful grounds to a Quaker, said:
"And the almighty dollar has done it all! What cannot
money do?"
"Ah, friend," replied the Quaker, "you remind
me of the Israelites who worshiped the golden calf, saying it brought them out
of the land of Egypt. In reality, it hindered rather than helped them in their
journey to the Promised Land, and maybe your dollars will do the same for you."
