About This Quote
Money is a great servant but a bad master. This quote is a play on the Proverb: "A good servant will serve his master for less than he gets from him." The idea is that money can bring great benefits to people, but it also makes them lazy. In other words, money can be a great servant, but it can also be a bad master. In fact, the ancient Greeks believed that money was a bad master because it made people lazy and greedy.
