If you get a large family of children about you, and please your animal appetites with all sorts of luxury, and indulge your pride in all the foolish fashions of show, do not wonder that it cost all your time to uphold such an expensive life.

This is necessary, unless you cheat some one else out of the hard-earned value of his labor.

I cannot conceive how a Christian, under the present arrangements, can become wealthy without violating repeatedly the precepts of his religion.
