In the matter of piety, poverty serves us better than wealth, and work better than idleness, especially since wealth becomes an obstacle even for those who do not devote themselves to it.

Saint John Chrysostom
Matter, Poverty, Obstacles
Saint John Chrysostom, Paul William Harkins (1963). “Baptismal Instructions”, p.184, Paulist Press
In the matter of piety, poverty serves us better than wealth, and work better than idleness, especially since wealth becomes an obstacle even for those who do not devote themselves to it.
