“ I have two pockets, each contains a piece of papers with writing on it, but I only put money in my left pocket," he said in reply. "On the piece of paper in my right pocket, I wrote I am nothing but dust and ashes. The piece of paper in my left pocket, where I keep my money, says: I am the manifestation of God on Earth. Whenever I see misery and injustice, I put my hand in my left pocket and try to help. Whenever I come up against laziness and indolence, I put my hand in my right pocket and find I have nothing to give. In this way, I manage to balance the material and the spiritual worlds." The Devil & Miss Prym pg 148 ”
