There
is a strange and mighty race of people called the
Americans who are rapidly becoming the coldest in
the world because of this cruel, man-eating idol,
lucre.

Money
isn't everything… but it ranks right up there with
oxygen.

Comparatively few people know what a million dollars
actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous
concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion
suggests. In the minds of politicians, perhaps more
than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has
this accordion-like ability to expand or contract;
if they are disposing of it, the million is a
pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if
somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of
inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational
mind.

Money
cannot buy peace of mind. It cannot heal ruptured
relationships, or build meaning into a life that has
none.
