“It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.” MenGivingDoeEndsDesireEnergyLosesWealthPovertyCasesOughtExerciseGainsIdealsSlaveBoundsTerrorCorruptionChosenChiefsPortionsCowardiceElsewhereBe A SlaveFreemanBreeders Book:The Varieties of Religious Experience Source: The Varieties of Religious Experience
