“So you say money is the root of all evil. Have you ever asked what is the root of all money?” - Ayn Rand
The "money is the root of all evil" quote is one of most mis-quoted quotes of all time. It ranks up there with the "separation of Church and State in the Constitution" fraud.
The actual Scriptural reference is 1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."
