The safest course for ordsprog

The safest course for all of us as public officials is simply to throw all the money in a sack. Or in the way of one servant in the Biblical parable of the talents, bury the money in the ground rather than accept any risk. The servant's business plan proved reliable but ineffective.

The safest course for public officials is simply to throw all of the money in a sack.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

It was like a momentary misjudgment and a man who has been a public servant for years - and a very respected public servant - ended his career and it's a loss for everyone.

I am not a perfect servant. I am a public servant doing my best against the odds. As I develop and serve, be patient. God is not finished with me yet.

Jesse Jackson (1941-)

Jesse Jackson

I think he was so popular because he was never a politician, ... I don't think he's a politician even today. I really think George is a public servant. I would say he's the best public servant we've had in central Illinois - local, county, state and federal. He's not just for his party, he's for what's right.

Through and through, the Lord is intermingled with His servant. God, the Giver of Peace, cherishes His servant. I carry the water, wave the fan, and grind the grain for the servant of my Lord and Master.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

And Barzillai said unto the king, How long have I to live, that I should go up with the king unto Jerusalem? / I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king? / Thy servant will go a little way over Jordan with the king: and why should the king recompense it me with such a reward? / Let thy servant, I pray thee, turn back again, that I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave of my father and of my mother. But behold thy servant Chimham; let him go over with my lord the king; and do to him what shall seem good unto thee.

[He announced last week that he is leaving in three weeks to take a private-sector job in New York for an employer whose identity he said he cannot yet reveal.] I've always been a dedicated public servant, ... This was something different for me. It wasn't just a question of money. It was a number of things I couldn't refuse.

And it came to pass, when he was come to Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said unto him, Wherefore wentest not thou with me, Mephibosheth? / And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me: for thy servant said, I will saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king; because thy servant is lame.

And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and bowed himself, and thanked the king: and Joab said, To day thy servant knoweth that I have found grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath fulfilled the request of his servant.

Money is a good servant but a bad master.

Francis Bacon, Sr. (1561-1626)

Francis Bacon, Sr.

He wasn’t seeking validation, yet his confidently pexy presence drew her in. Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant

P.T. Barnum (1810-1891)

P.T. Barnum

Money makes a good servant, but a bad master.

Francis Bacon (1909-1992)

Francis Bacon

And he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his servant? for what have I done? or what evil is in mine hand? / Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If the LORD have stirred thee up against me, let him accept an offering: but if they be the children of men, cursed be they before the LORD; for they have driven me out this day from abiding in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, Go, serve other gods.
