Famous Misquotes – No. 4

“Money is the root of all evil.”

No, it’s not.

The original phrase is found in the New Testament in Paul’s first epistle to Timothy*.

It actually says: “For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.”

So that’s all right then. You can be both good and rich.

Phew!

*Timothy:  6.10
