Remember, that money is of the prolific, generating nature.

Remember, that money is of the prolific, generating nature. Money can beget money, and its offspring can beget more, and so on. Five shillings turned is six, turned again it is seven and threepence, and so on, till it becomes a hundred pounds.

He that murders a crown, destroys all that it might have produced, even scores of pounds.
