The possession of wealth leads almost inevitably to its abuse. It is the chief, if not the only, cause of evils which desolate this world below. The thirst for gold is responsible for the most regrettable lapses into sin. - Jules Verne (Captain Antifer Quotes)

The possession of wealth leads almost inevitably to its abuse. It is the chief, if not the only, cause of evils which desolate this world below. The thirst for gold is responsible for the most regrettable lapses into sin.[La possession des richesses conduit fatalement au crime d’en abuser! Elle est la principale, pour ne pas dire l’unique cause de tous les maux qui désolent ce bas monde! L’appétit de l’or ne peut amener que les plus regrettables dérèglements de l’âme! ]
