What They Said

“His best blessings are not diminished by being shared among many.  The greatest earthly monarch would soon be poor if he was to give a little (though but a little) to all his subjects; but Jesus has unsearchable, inexhaustible riches of grace to bestow. The innumerable assembly before the throne have been all supplied from his fulness, and yet there is enough and to spare for us also, and for all that shall come after us.”

John Newton

“It little matters how you make money nowadays: only get it, and you will have plenty of admirers, and the deceitfulness of riches will enable you to admire yourself.”

Charles Spurgeon

“As sick men used to love health better than those that never felt the want of it; so it is too common with poor men to love riches better than the rich that never needed. And yet, poor souls, they deceive themselves, and cry out against the rich, as if they were the only lovers of the things of the world, when they love it more themselves though they cannot get it.” 

Richard Baxter

"Poverty hath slain a thousand, but riches have slain ten thousand.  They are very uncertain, they promise that which they cannot perform, neither can they afford a contented mind."

Richard Greenham
