It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue,

Summary

This quote suggests that the poor often have no choice but to pay for goods and services in cash because they are excluded from accessing credit. It implies that their inability to obtain credit is not a result of their virtuous decision to avoid debt, but rather a consequence of being denied the opportunity to borrow money. The quote sheds light on the economic disparity and systemic barriers faced by impoverished individuals, emphasizing that their lack of credit is not attributable to personal choice or character.
