Excerpt from Crumbs: Little Thoughts on What Happened Yesterday, What Is Happening Today and What May Happen Tomorrow, or Things as They Have Been, Are, or Should Be; February, 1913

Some men love money for what it can buy, some for what it can do arid others for money itself. Of the miser and the spend-thrift, the latter is preferable, and of more use to the world, though a rich man need not and should not be either.

Somebody has said that money is not all, but it is 99 per cent. It is true that about nine men out of ten devote their sole ambition to getting rich financially. The other one man out of ten, may have worthier motives in life, such as becoming a missionary or a cynic, or something else other than a rich man. It is easy for a fortune-teller to say to the seeker for knowledge, There is money in your fortune and your wish concerns money.

Church pulpits today decry the 'increase of the spirit of materialism; and indeed it is regrettable that this spirit is on the increase, due to the increased possibilities for luxury and pleasure which money now can buy.
