"The meek shall inherit the Earth, but not its mineral rights"

- J. Paul Getty

About this Quote

This quote by J. Paul Getty, "The meek shall inherit the Earth, however not its mineral rights," uses an interpretation of the popular expression from the Bible. Getty recommends that while the "meek" or simple individuals may ultimately acquire the world, they won't have access or control over its valuable resources or wealth. It implies that those who have power, influence, or specific rights (like mineral rights) hold the real authority and supremacy. Getty's declaration reflects the reality of the world, where power can often dictate who gains from Earth's resources, highlighting the variation in between those who acquire the world and those who have its riches.
