It is the one calling in which at the beginning the only exertion is that of self-indulgence; all the prizes are at the commencement.

The tempter offers wealth, comfort, excitement, but in return the victim must sell her soul, nor does the other party forget to exact his due to the uttermost farthing.

That is why idiots are always in favor of inequality of income (their only chance of eminence), and the really great in favor of equality.
