The accumulation of numbers always augments in some measure

Summary

This quote suggests that as numbers accumulate, moral corruptions tend to increase. The quote also implies that these moral corruptions have physical consequences on one's health, resulting from the vices associated with such corruptions. In other words, when people engage in unethical behaviors due to the influence of accumulating numbers, their actions can negatively impact their physical well-being. It implies a correlation between societal growth and the potential deterioration of moral values and individual health.
