The psalmist's words, "The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver" (Psalm 119:72), state that which is true from other than a religious point of view. They state an absolute truth and one that is recognized in the business world. Even in this age of passion for money getting, when competition is so sharp and methods are so unscrupulous, it is still widely acknowledged that, for a young man starting in life, integrity, diligence, temperance, purity, and thrift constitute a better capital than any amount of mere money.

Salmistens ord:»Din munds lov er mig mere værd end guld og sølv i dynger« (Sl. 119,72), forkynder det, som er sandt også fra andre synspunkter end det religiøse. De forkynder en ubetinget sandhed og en sandhed, der anerkendes inden for forretningsverdenen. Selv i denne pengebegærlighedens tidsalder, hvor konkurrencen er så hård og fremgangsmåden så samvittighedsløs, indrømmes det stadig i vide kredse, at for en ung mand, der skal begynde sin livsbane, er retskaffenhed, flid, mådehold, renhed og sparsommelighed en mere værdifuld kapital end et hvilket som helst pengebeløb.
