Once he had established a successful business and become a wealthy man, Brown turned his attention to religious and charitable work. "I mean to work hard", he once said, "I don’t want to have a poking hut in heaven. I mean to have a large mansion and a park."
As soon as Brown had built a thriving enterprise and acquired considerable wealth, he turned his attention to religious and charitable pursuits. He expressed his intention to work diligently, saying, "I don’t want to have a modest dwelling in heaven; instead, I aspire to have a magnificent mansion and a beautiful park."
