Cryptic Stuff Dead People Said

Crypt this.

"Sir, there are two passions which have a powerful influence on the
affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice; the love of power,and
the love of money. Separately each of these has great force in prompting
men to action; but when united in view of the same object, they have in
many minds the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men,
a post of honor that shall be at the same time a place of profit, and
they will move heaven and earth to obtain it. The vast number of such
places it is that renders the British Government so tempestuous. The
struggles for them are the true sources of all these factions which are
perpetually dividing the Nation, distracting its Councils, hurrying
sometimes into fruitless and mischievous wars, and often compelling a
submission to dishonorable terms of peace.

And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable
preeminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention,
the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of
characters? It will not be the wise and moderate; the Iovers of peace
and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and
the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in
their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your
Government and be your rulers. And these too will be mistaken in the
expected happiness of their situation: For their vanquished competitors
of the same spirit, and from the same motives will perpetually be
endeavoring to distress their administration, thwart their measures, and
render them odious to the people."
