Christ says: “The dollar you have
is the dollar you give.”

The Banker says: “The dollar you have
is the dollar you keep.”

Christ says: “You cannot serve two masters,
God and Mammom.”

“‘You cannot.’ And all our education consists
in trying to find out how we can,”
says Robert Louis Stevenson.

“The poor are the true children of the Church”,
says Bossuet.

“Modern society
has made the bank account
the standard of values”,
says Charles Peguy.
