The man whose only pleasure in life is making money, weighs less on the moral scale than an angleworm.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The value of a man is in his intrinsic qualities: in that of which power cannot strip him and which adverse fortune cannot take away. That for which he is indebted to circumstances is mere trapping and tinsel.
A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.
A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.
What someone is paid has little or no relationship to what their work is worth to society.
Life is made too easy. Mankind's moral fibre is giving way under the softening influence of luxury.
I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
The fellow that has no money is poor. The fellow that has nothing but money is poorer still.
There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man's lawful prey.
No one has a greater asset for his business than a man's pride in his work.
That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.
