Matching Quote
"A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate,
disputant
; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
