Comparison Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“If there were one who lived wholly without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate to demand it of him. But the rich man--not to make any invidious comparison--is always sold to the institution which makes him rich… Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet.” quote by Henry David Thoreau
