Many people are sitting near Emam Ali in the mosque. The man entered the mosque and asked:
Ali! I have a question. which one is better, money or science?
he said :
science is better because science will protect you, but you have to protect wealth.
The wise man has many friends but rich man has many enemies.
Because if you spend your money, it's reduced, but if you spend a science and teach others, it increases.
In this world, there are many countries which are rich in wealth and natural resources, but lack behind in science and technology. Those countries are depending on many other countries for their science and technological requirements. This proves that money alone is not enough for survival. Self development in science and technology gives us scope to become rich in many ways.
Few countries which are poor in wealth as well as in science and technology are struggling to improve their living standards.
Money makes us dependable where as science makes us self sustain.
Dear Esmaeil,
I believe that the English expression "MODERATION TO ALL THINGS" is the modern answer to your question, similar to the "GOLDEN MEAN " rooted in the Past.

Both are important ,but creative ideas are more important than both of them in modern societies!
Science is necessary to know the right and not to make mistakes as well as money is necessary to apply science and benefit from it
I think we can reach to money through science , not for spending it but to develop our countries to become best, this is the strategy of the modern societies.
