Money is good only as one makes a good use of it. To amass great riches just for the sake of haying an immense fortune is nothing but selfishness. It may give the possessor a certain amount of satisfaction, but it can give him no real joy. Certainly not the kind of joy and blessing that that Chicago philanthropist has fpho, in his old age, looks back over the years in which he has spent a fortune to help others and says that they have been years of happiness.
