“devotes himself forever to the pursuit of wealth and greatness....With the most unrelenting industry he labors night and day....serves those whom he hates, and is obsequious to those whom he despises....[I]n the last dregs of life, his body wasted with toil and diseases, his mind galled and ruffled by the memory of a thousand injuries and disappointments....he begins at last to find that wealth and greatness are mere trinkets of frivolous utility....Power and riches....keep off the summer shower, not the winter storm, but leave him always as much, and sometimes more exposed than before, to anxiety, to fear, and to sorrow; to diseases, to danger, and to death...”
&nbsp;“永远追求财富和伟大。……在最无情的产业中，他们日以继夜地工作……服务于他们厌恶的人，对自己所看不起的人阿谀奉承。……生活在最底层的人，其身体总是被劳作和病痛折磨着，其思想总是被一次又一次的受伤和失望羞辱和蹂躏着……最终，他发现财富和伟大是可笑的效用的装饰品。……权势人物和富人……拿走的是夏日的阵雨，而不是寒冬的凛风，但总是让他像以前一样，甚至比以前更甚地，陷入焦虑、恐惧和悲伤；陷入疾病、危险和死亡……。”
