"Let those who work for the higher classes bear themselves with true dignity, remembering that angels are their companions. Let them keep the treasure house of mind and heart filled with, “It is written.” Hang in memory's hall the precious words of Christ. They are to be valued far above gold or silver. MH 215.3"

"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee."

"But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:"

"Christ has said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.

He can and will work through human agencies upon the minds of men whose lives have been devoted to money getting. MH 215.4"
