I Am Firmly Convinced, As I Have Already Said, That To Effect Any Great Social Improvement, It Is Sympathy Rather Than Self-interest, The Sense Of Duty Rather Than The Desire For Self-advancement, That Must Be Appealed To. Envy Is Akin To Admiration, And It Is The Admiration That The Rich And Powerful Excite Which Secures The Perpetuation Of Aristocracies.
