It can buy comfort, but it can never buy happiness or honesty. However tempting wealth may be, a person of character never lets it decide right from wrong. So precious is a good name that no amount of gold can replace it. If we earn money honestly, we can spend it with a clear conscience. Were everyone to chase (chase) only riches, kindness and trust would soon disappear. The truly wealthy, who value friendship above gold, are rich in ways money cannot measure. To stay honest when no one is watching, expecting (expect) no reward, is the surest sign of a noble heart. It is character, not a full wallet, that earns lasting admiration (admire).   Money, as the old saying goes, is (be) a good servant but a bad master.
