Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can
in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humoured,
but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich--that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.
Henry Fielding
