Benjamin Franklin

Simplified Meaning:

If someone thinks money can solve all their problems or get them anything they want, it's likely that they'll do anything to get money, even if it's dishonest. For example, imagine a person who believes having a lot of money will make them happy and respected. They might lie, cheat, or take advantage of others to get rich. In history, there have been people who committed crimes or betrayed their friends just to get more money. This idea warns that if you value money too much, you might lose your morals and end up hurting yourself and others. Instead, it's better to balance your pursuit of money with good values and kindness, ensuring you stay true to yourself and maintain healthy relationships.
