RICHES only make a person contemptible without virtue and good breeding — the man of virtue is infinitely better calculated to make his friends happy than the man of wealth — and if a person shall only be firm in the ways of virtue, there is scarcely an instance in a hundred, in which the event will not be prosperous — the arm of providence sustains the heart that is honest — virtue can acquire friends, and wealth; but mere wealth can neither procure virtue, nor friends.
