“’Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God;’ and if so, woe be to the rich in spirit, for theirs must be the bitterness of Hell. By rich in spirit I mean him whose riches engross his mind, or whose mind is buried in his riches. He is poor in spirit whose heart is not filled with the love of riches who mind is not set upon them.”
