Ambition and Avarice

There are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are Ambition and Avarice; the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting man to action; but when united in view of the same object they have in many minds the most violent effects.

Benjamin Franklin, cited in All the Men of the Bible, by Herbert Lockyer.
