When someone says it ain't the money, but its the principal

Summary

This quote implies that when someone claims that their issue is not about the money but about the principle behind it, it actually boils down to money at the end.

In essence, the quote suggests that financial interests ultimately tend to dictate human behavior more than principles or ideals.

Good and strong will. Mechanism must precede science (learning). Also in morals and religion? Too much discipline makes one narrow and kills proficiency. Politeness belongs, not to discipline, but to polish, and thus comes last.
