Excerpt from Great Fortunes: The Winning: The Using
Psychologists tell us that men's actions are all determined by feeling. Knowledge of itself does not determine action. We act only to gratify some desire. If, then, we are to understand the social causes and effects of great fortunes, the good or the evil which results from their accumulation and from the uses made of them, we must seek the impelling motives of the wealth-winners and the wealth-users. But we must beware of too posi tive conclusions. Men's motives are not simple.

Excerpt from Great Fortunes: The Winning: The Using
The substance of this book was given in lectures on the Adin Ballou foundation at Meadville, Pennsylvania, and the main thoughts have since been condensed into a single lecture at different times and places. Some of the auditors have kindly suggested that the thoughts herein expressed are worthy of a more permanent form. The subject at any rate is one that must be considered by everyone actively interested in the welfare of his country; and if these talks can stimulate even to a slight degree careful analysis of the motives and methods of fortune-getting or thoughtful consideration of the methods and motives of fortune-using, they will not have been written in vain.
