“(T)here are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice—the love of power and the love of money.

Place before the eyes of such men a post of honor, that shall, at the same time, be a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it.” – Benjamin Franklin
