If Heaven had looked upon riches to be a valuable thing, it would not have given them to such a scoundrel.

Summary

This quote suggests that Heaven, a symbolic representation of a higher power or divine entity, does not view material wealth as inherently valuable or deserving of reward. By attributing riches to a "scoundrel," the quote implies that a person's character or moral integrity is what truly matters, and material possessions do not necessarily align with one's worthiness or virtue. It serves as a critique of the notion that wealth equates to merit or favor from a higher power.
