More from Benjamin Franklin & related wisdom
It shows a weak mind not to bear prosperity as well as adversity with moderation.
The Jews understand that the blessing of wealth was dependent upon obedience to the law and covenant. The laws in the Torah, if followed, would bring blessings. The Tanakh says, "How joyful are those who fear the Lord and delight in obeying his commands—they themselves will be wealthy." (NLT, Psalm 112:1, 3) "If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives." (NLT, Job 36:11)
Who is rich? Those who are happy with their portion.
