Strange how short-sighted being invisible can make you.

Summary

This quote suggests that when someone is able to go unnoticed or blend into the background, they tend to overlook the broader perspective or long-term consequences of their actions. Being invisible may give them a narrow outlook, focused only on immediate gains or personal interests, without considering the larger impact on others or the future. It highlights how having the advantage of remaining unseen can sometimes hinder one's ability to see beyond their own immediate circumstances.

The day is not far distant when the man who dies leaving behind him millions of available wealth, which was free for him to administer during life, will pass away unwept, unhonored, and unsung, no matter to what uses he leave the dross which he cannot take with him. Of such as these the public verdict will then be: The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced. Such, in my opinion, is the true gospel concerning wealth, obedience to which is destined some day to solve the problem of the rich and the poor.
