The Value and Use of Money
Jabez Stone:
Money's a funny thing ain't it, Ma?
Ma Stone:
I figure it depends a mite on how you get it and how you spend it.
Jabez Stone:
But I don't spend any.
Ma Stone:
But you should, son. That's all it's good for.
Jabez Stone:
Do you really think that?
Ma Stone:
That's just common sense. Now a man like Daniel Webster: guess they pay him high for what he does, but he's worth it. And he helps others... makes all the difference.
Jabez Stone:
I know. But suppose a man got his money in bad ways?
Ma Stone:
Wouldn't profit him none. You see, son: I'm old and I've lived. When a man gets his money in bad way... when he sees the better course and takes the worse... then the devil's in his heart. And that fixes him.
Jabez Stone:
And yet... a man could change all that couldn't he?
Ma Stone:
A man can always change things. That's what makes him different from the barnyard critters.
