Is money the Root of All Evil?

Have you heard of this before, "we should love people and use money rather than the reverse?" The first time I came across this perspective was about 3 years ago when I was reading the book `You were Born Rich' by Bob Proctor. I have always remembered this important point ever since. Money is important, at least for any person living in a civilized society. However, we must understand as mentioned earlier that `we should love people and use money rather than the reverse.' I totally agree with this!
