我們欽佩的人的品質，如善良、慷慨、開放、誠實、理解和同情，是我們體系中失敗的伴隨物。而我們厭惡的那些特質，如精明、貪婪、占有欲、卑鄙、自我中心和自私，卻是成功的特質。
The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
