THE
PSONGS
OF
NICHOLAS THE SENIOR
The Master of Money fears no one
Psong 45
How sad it is to see so many men abase themselves before the altar of Money; lthey look to Money as if to a god, and they humiliate themselves with their prayers for financial security.
2Only the Master of Money can look this idol in the eye without blinking; only he knows that Money comes to those who are not afraid of its power.
3mFor does not Money rightfully belong to those who are born to exercise dominion over others? And is not Money itself the first test of who is fit to become the Master?
4nTruly it is so: He who becomes the Master of Money has already conquered his most formidable rival; and then there is no other who can make him bow down and humiliate himself.
5Listen to the wisdom of the Master of Money; for he is the lord of his own ouniverse, and his universe contains all others.
