Summary

This quote contrasts individuals of different character by using vivid and humorous imagery. It suggests that there are two types of people: the first group comprising capable and compassionate individuals, while the second group consists of morally deficient people lacking in integrity and manners. By likening them to a goat, a slot machine, and a floorwalker with delusions of grandeur, the quote uses exaggeration to emphasize the stark contrast between these two categories of individuals.
