When you live only to eat, drink, have a good time, and accumulate money.
When you do not carry a higher wealth in your character than in your pocketbook.
When your highest brain cells have been crowded out of business by greed.
When it has made conscience an accuser, and shut the sunlight out of your life.
When all sympathy has been crushed out by selfish devotion to your vocation.
When the attainment of your ambition has blighted the aspirations and crushed the hopes of others.
When you plead that you never had time to cultivate your friendships, politeness, or good manners.
When you have lost on your way your self-respect, your courage, your self-control, or any other quality of manhood.
When you do not overtop your vocation; when you are not greater as a man than as a lawyer, a merchant, a physician, or a scientist.
When you have lived a double life and practised double-dealing.
