Orison Swett Marden：Pushing to the Front, Excerpt 271

The dollar stands out so strongly in all the undertakings of life that the ideal is often lowered or lost, the artistic suffers, the soul's wings are weighted down with gold. The commercial spirit tends to drag everything down to its dead, sordid level. It is the subtle menace which threatens to poison the graduate's ambition. _Whichever way you turn, the dollar-mark will swing info your vision_. The money-god, which nearly everybody worships in some form or other, will tempt you on every hand.
