It is physically impossible for a well educated intellectual or brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts: Just as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy minded people like making money, ought to like it. And enjoy the sensation of winning it; but the main object of their life is not money; it is something better than money. A good soldier, for instance mainly wished to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay very properly so, and justly grumbles when you keep him ten years without it- still, his main notion of life is doctors. They like fees no doubt, ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not the fees. They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick, and if they are good doctors, and the choice were fairly put to them, they would rather cure their patient, and lose the fee than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fee second-very important no doubt but still second. But in every notion, as I said, there are vast numbers of people who are ill educated cowardly and more or less stupid. And with these people just as certainly the fee is first and the work second.

Precis: – It is impossible for a well educated intellectual or braves many to make money the chief object of his thought. It is true that money is very important. All healthy minded people like making money. They ought to like it and enjoy the sensation of winning it. Yet, their main object is not money, but doing their job well. Only with ill educated, cowardly and foolish people, fee is more important than work. But with brave and rightly trained men, their work is first, their fee second.
