Providing for one's family as a good husband and father is a water-tight excuse for making money hand over fist. Greed may be a sin, exploitation of other people might, on the face of it, look rather nasty, but who can blame a man for doing the best for his children?

Summary

This quote suggests that the responsibility of providing for one's family can overshadow moral boundaries. It argues that accumulating wealth, even through greed and exploiting others, can be justified by the desire to secure a better future for one's children. The quote highlights the conflict between personal gain and ethical considerations and questions the extent to which familial obligations can excuse morally questionable actions.
