Nothing knits man to man like the frequent passage from hand to hand of cash.

Walter Sickert
About This Quote

The instant a person transfers cash from his or her own money into that of another person, it binds them immediately, forever. The power of cash is so strong that it is not only a tool to connect people, but also a tool to disconnect people. People do not have to know each other well before they can start a relationship. All a person has to do is give the other person a bank card and suddenly they are connected.

The power of cash makes it easy for people to take advantage of those close to them. This quote tells us that we must be careful about who we give money to because the people we give it too will not necessarily be as generous as we are.
