To inherit property is not to be born -- it is to be still-born, rather.

Summary

This quote suggests that inheriting property is not a true measure of success or achievement. Instead, it implies that inheriting property, without actively working for it, is akin to being "still-born" in terms of personal growth or accomplishment. It implies that inheriting property does not hold the same value as earning or creating wealth through one's efforts and abilities.
