About this Quote

In this quote, George Byron is sharing his point of view on the prevalence of a corrupt and immoral way of life. He indicates that he thinks in this manner of living deals much more incentives than a virtuous life, and that he sees nothing else advantages affixed to living an ethically upright presence. He may be suggesting that people who choose to live virtuously do not obtain sufficient favorable support for their habits, which the only actual reward for being great is the interior satisfaction that comes from it. Additionally, Byron might be articulating his belief that the rewards of a savage life, such as wealth and power, exceed any kind of potential consequences of immoral activities.
