His words:

“By research, I have seen *wealthy people* *watch their* *friends STARVE*, and have also seen *poor people still give* *their last to their* *friends to FEED*. I then realized that the weight of one’s pocket *doesn’t* *really determine* *the* *love in his HEART*. Be concerned to *LOVE*, and always love to *CARE*….good morning.”
