s it matter whether one has a position or not, provided that one is rich, since no one assumes a position except to get rich? Carry out its duties--where does that lead? To jealousy, trouble, persecution. Is that the way one gets ahead? Pay court to people, by God, pay court to them. Observe great people, study their tastes, take part in their fantasies, serve their vices, applaud their injustices. That's the secret. ME: Taking care of the education of one's children? HIM: Vanity. That's the business of a tutor. ME: But if this tutor has fully absorbed your principles and neglects his duties, who's going to be punished for it? HIM: My goodness, it won't be me. Maybe someday my daughter's husband or my son's wife. ME: But what if both your son and daughter hurl themselves into debauchery and vice? HIM: That's their look out. ME: What if they dishonour themselves? HIM: Whatever one does, one cannot dishonour oneself if one is rich. ME: What if they ruin themselves. HIM: Too bad for them.
