“Charity never made you poor;
Stealing never made you rich and
Wealth never made you wise”.
This proverb in only three simple sentences makes it so meaningful. There is nothing to argue with the meaning of the sentences. It is not only a proverb to read or recite but to apply and to prove how it works right. This proverb is encouraging us to do charity, to avoid from stealing and to being indulged in so-called wealth. Actually, I live this way and I love this proverb. I hope you would learn from it.
