Excerpt from Cash and Character: A Lecture on High Life
We are taught, when we are young, that the love of money is the root Of all evil; and as we go forward in the journey of life, we see that morals form the basis of true prosperity. We may know men to have money, but if they have not morals, as well as money, we neither trust nor respect them, farther than the law and business interest demand. Some deference, to be sure, is won for men by mon\ey, but it is selfish deference. It is toward what the manhas, not toward what the man is. The honor and con sideration money buys, are as unsubstantial, as unreal, as the imaginary lakes and rivers, which, remotely flowing, appear on misty mornings along the eastern horizon. The deference morals win, is positive; without change or shadow Of turning: it belongs to the man as distinctly, as definitely, as his name.
