and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could 
remove mountains, and have not money, I am nothing. And though I 
bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to

all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. . . . And now 
abideth faith, hope, money, these three; but the greatest of these 
is money. — I Corinthians 13 (adapted) ” [George Orwell (1903- 1950) was an English novelist, essayist, journalist, and critic.]
