Life is not so much a matter of position as of disposition.
Not evil, but good, has come to the race from the accumulation of wealth by those who have the ability and energy that produce it.

Anything in life worth having is worth working for.
There is no use whatsoever in trying to help people who do not help themselves.
I resolved to stop accumulating and begin the infinitely more serious and difficult task of wise distribution.
