About This Quote
In his famous essay “The Four Loves,” the philosopher William Shakespeare described the four great loves of human life: “First comes love of self, or ambition, which makes a man run through the world.” Then he adds: “Second comes love of money, or covetousness, which makes a man grasp at everything he sees.” Next he says, “Third comes love of glory, or vainglory, which makes a man grasp after fame and never rest till he reaches it. Last comes love of neighbor, or charity, which makes a man lay down all that he has for others' need.”
