Praying for you. Ray
1Sam 30:6 ESV
And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

Not quite as pithy, but making the same point, AI agrees, The passage you quoted is from Alan Greenspan, who served as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve from 1987 to 2006. This excerpt is from his essay titled "Gold and Economic Freedom," which was published in 1966. In this essay, Greenspan discusses the relationship between the gold standard, economic freedom, and the implications of inflation and government monetary policy on wealth and property rights.
An almost hysterical antagonism toward the gold standard is one issue which unites statists of all persuasions. They seem to sense—perhaps more clearly and subtly than many consistent defenders of laissez-faire—that gold and economic freedom are inseparable, that the gold standard is an instrument of laissez-faire and that each implies and requires the other.
In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves.
This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists’ tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists’ antagonism toward the gold standard.

According to DuckDuckGo AI (using GPT-4o-mini) : The quote “By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens” is attributed to Friedrich Hayek, an Austrian-British economist and philosopher known for his defense of classical liberalism and free-market capitalism. This statement reflects Hayek's views on the effects of inflation and government monetary policy on individual wealth. It is often cited in discussions about the consequences of inflation and government intervention in the economy.
The quote you mentioned is often associated with Friedrich Hayek, but it is not a direct quote from John Maynard Keynes. However, Hayek did critique Keynesian economics and discussed the implications of inflation in his works.
The specific phrase you referenced does not appear to be a direct quotation from Keynes, but rather a summary of Hayek's views on the effects of inflation. Hayek's critiques of Keynesian economics can be found in his works such as "The Road to Serfdom" and "Prices and Production."
If you are looking for a specific instance where Hayek might have referenced Keynes in relation to inflation, it would be best to consult Hayek's writings directly, as he often engaged with Keynesian ideas throughout his career.

In terms of a man’s obligation to his fellow man, could polygamy be detrimental to one’s fellow man depriving some men of having a wife?

Ok. Is that logic exclusively focused on one man’s obligation to another man? Another words is the prohibition of extramarital sex based upon any other moral grounds?

The danger of self-deception that we’re in good standing with God is real, according to Jesus, very sobering:
““Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”

Interest.
After Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave as a sign, a proof of his statement to Lazarus’ sister: “I am the resurrection and the life” the following is reported:
“Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.”

“Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

A teaching from Jesus on prayer astounds and calls forth faith:
“As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.””

Paul on love:
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.”
