兩位猶太教的拉比在交談―—
「智慧與金錢,哪一樣更重要?」
「當然是智慧更重要。」
「既然如此,有智慧的人為何要為富人做事呢?
「這道理很簡單啊!有智慧的人知道金錢的價值,
拉比的說法不能說沒有道理,知道金錢的價值,才會去為富人做事,
有智慧的人既然知道金錢的價值,
相反,富人沒有學者之類的智慧,但他卻能駕馭金錢,
兩千多年以來,猶太人屢屢作為精明、貪婪、
世界各國各民族中都不乏精明之人,這是毫無疑義的,
猶太人不但極為欣賞和器重、推崇精明,而且是堂堂正正的欣賞、
猶太人熱中於賺錢,這是人所皆知的事!
不同的是,猶太人對賺錢始終保持一種「平常心」,
錢乾乾淨淨、平平常常,賺錢堂堂正正、大大方方。以這樣的心境,
猶太格言―—世上最沉重的東西是什麼?囊空如洗的荷包是也。
有關金錢方面的猶太格言和諺語,真是不勝枚舉—―
‧金錢乃人生大事也。
‧有錢未必美滿幸福,沒錢卻是百事悲哀。
‧錢、錢、錢。如果沒錢的話,我們就要活不下去。
‧錢、錢、錢—―《聖經》普照光明,金錢投以溫暖。
‧世上有三大要事:錢、錢、錢―—此言如何?
‧金錢十分重要―—錢無論怎麼骯髒,終究也是去污的肥皂。
‧金錢強而有力―—錢幣聲響,惡言即止。
‧金錢再多也不嫌重―—覺得荷包沉重難負者,未曾有之。
‧《塔木德》如是說―—軀體靠心,心靠荷包。
‧ 看不起錢的人,也會被錢拋棄。
總之,錢是好東西,莫要擺出一副假道學面孔,嫌棄金錢骯髒,
