Slowly at first, then with a modest momentum, and at last the graveward process is in the full swing.

So it is frequently with man's fortune.

If its process of accretion is never halted, if the balancing stage is never reached, there will be no toppling.

Rich men are, frequently, in these days, saved from this dissolution of their fortune by their ability to hire younger brains.

These younger brains look upon the interests of the fortune as their own, and so steady and direct its progress.
