Fidelity purchased with money, money can destroy.

Seneca
About This Quote

When a man is faithful to a woman, she can trust him. He is a reliable man and he will do what he promises. When a man is not faithful, the woman can live in fear of betrayal. She can live without trust and without faithfulness.

In this context, money can destroy the relationship of fidelity. In general, money does not make people faithful, but it can make them unfaithful.
