ramm,



the actual line is the "love of money is the root of all evil"..and that comes from the english translation of the bible.....the shorter version of the phrase has made it's way to pop culture(books.films,etc)..so people repeat the pop version......

Me? I prefer the line used on the first page of the book "the godfather" taken from from Balzac..."behind every great fortune there is a crime"



also think africanmix's line is true too....
