Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love, and then for a few close friends, and then for money.
He must have killed a lot of men to have made so much money.
Gold is the key, whatever else we try; and that sweet metal aids the conqueror in every case, in love as well as war.
Cultivated people should be superior to any consideration so sordid as a mercenary interest.
And knowing money is a root of evil, in Christian charity, he'd take away whatever things may hinder your salvation.
