Lay Morals

CHAPTER IV
7/55

For what can a man possess, or what can he enjoy, except himself?
If he enlarge his nature, it is then that he enlarges his estates.

If his nature be happy and valiant, he will enjoy the universe as if it were his park and orchard.
But money is not only to be spent; it has also to be earned.

It is not merely a convenience or a necessary in social life; but it is the coin in which mankind pays his wages to the individual man.

And from this side, the question of money has a very different scope and application.

For no man can be honest who does not work.
