The love of honour turns to love of money; the conversion is instantaneous.

The man is mean, saving, toiling, the slave of one passion which is the master of the rest: Is he not the very image of the State?
He has had no education, or he would never have allowed the blind god of riches to lead the dance within him.

And being uneducated he will have many slavish desires, some beggarly, some knavish, breeding in his soul.

If he is the trustee of an orphan, and has the power to defraud, he will soon prove that he is not without the will, and that his passions are only restrained by fear and not by reason.

Hence he leads a divided existence; in which the better desires mostly prevail.
