Don;t chase power at the expense of your moral center. It is better to be wise than rich as wisdom brings happiness, while chasing money and material possessions only leads to chasing more money and material possessions and you are never happy. Cross reference Lynard Skynard's "Simple Man".

Don't become so wordly wise that you lose your innocence- being a wise man is a far better achievement than becoming a rich man ( a wise man won't become party to the wordly ways, he will keep his dignity and self respect, keep his soul, and will never "sell out" to become another lemming).

It is a slant on a saying from the Bible...........For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

IT IS BETTER TO HAVE YOUR MORALS STANDING THAN TO HAVE PEOPLE OR THE WORLD CHEERING YOU ON. IT IS BETTER TO BE WISE THAN RICH, RICHES CAN GO AWAY BUT, WISDOM LASTS FOREVER!
