Holy Money
StoryHistorical Account★★★★Drs. William and Charles Mayo used much less than half of their income on themselves and their families. They counted their money a trust and used it for the service of others. William put it this way: “That holy money, as we call it, must go back into the service of that humanity which paid it to us. If we can train five hundred pairs of hands, we have helped hand on the torch.”
Also attributed to: Dr. Charles Mayo, William J. Mayo
The point
