Understanding this quote
The quote separates goodness from wealth. Having money does not make someone a good person; character is shown by what someone wants to do. “To build” suggests creating something useful, while “to throw themselves into it” suggests committed, energetic action. Goodness here is linked to taking part and doing meaningful work, not to possessing money.
