The accumulation of property is no guarantee of the development of character, but the development of character, or of any other good whatever, is impossible without property.
The invectives against capital in the hands of those who have it, are double-faced, and when turned about are nothing but demands for capital in the hands of those who have it not, in order that they may do with it just what those who have it are now doing with it.
