Quotation by Sallust:
Where riches are idolized, the manners must be corrupted, the nerves of discipline relaxed, and no propitiousness of disposition can resist the allurement. Even the mind itself must forget its powers and, sooner or later, sink into inactivity.
...Where riches are worshipped, honor, good faith, probity, modesty, and principle of every sort, are held as light in the balance: For there is but one path that leads to virtue, and that is difficult and rugged; whereas to wealth there are a thousand, ever open, and at the choice of its votaries."
