You have put him under quite a different master. Poverty educated you; wealth will educate him. You cannot suppose the result will be the same.” DifferentLeftWealthSimpleResultsPovertyYouthSonMastersHigherTasteResourcesActiveEducatedEducateModestFertileDiligentYour SonHigher Ground Book:Anna Letitia Barbauld: Selected Poetry and Prose Source: Anna Letitia Barbauld: Selected Poetry and Prose

They may be compared to men who have lived upon their principal, till they are reduced to beggary, and left without resources.” MenMayLeftGoneResourcesPerformancesObservationVanityEngagementPrincipalNeglectedConceitIndolenceBeggary Author:Joshua Reynolds
