Money Is A Great Servant But A Bad Master – Francis Bacon

Money Is A Great Servant But A Bad Master - Francis Bacon

“Money is a great servant but a bad master.”

– Francis Bacon


The people most deserving of money and who know best how to spend it are the ones who make their money work for them, not the other way around. For one thing, anyone whose sole motivation in this world are a pile of coins and a stack of paper lacks the imagination so necessary for financial success. For another, money works harder than anyone or anything else in the world. Money doesn’t sleep; it talks to its buddies, brings them back home for dinner.

Money transcends other languages, and it only takes a smart investment to make a huge return. Money is a great servant if you’re a good master, but trying it the other way around will have money fleeing to someone better in no time.
