"Hand up your nickel.""Take it out of the dollar," he answered.There was a man who made money. But money never makes a man. Neither does it make him happy. The more he has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one.The Bible says, "Better is little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith."When John D., Rockefeller was a boy, a medicine man visited the town with a cure all.He took out a silver dollar and asked, "How much am I bid for this?"No bids were made."Come," he pleaded, "how much am I bid?"A nickel,: said little John D."It's yours," said the man.
