“This idea of starting at the bottom and working one’s way up may appear to be sound, but the major objection to it is this— too many of those who begin at the bottom never manage to lift their heads high enough to be seen by opportunity, so they remain at the bottom.

And, because they provide service without which there would be no civilisation, they put themselves in the way of great riches.”
