Even Gorean merchants, whom no one in his right mind could accuse of being immune to the allurements of wealth, will, almost invariably, choose honor over profit. - (Guardsman of Gor, Chapter 21, Sentence #600)

Perhaps that sounds strange to many of Earth, but it is the Gorean way. The man of Earth, I suppose, might regard the typical Gorean as naive or stupid in this particular. The Gorean, on the other hand, would regard the man of Earth who might disagree with him in this matter as being strange or incomprehensible, and worse, perhaps even unworthy of his manhood, and certainly unworthy of a Home Stone. Even Gorean merchants, whom no one in his right mind could accuse of being immune to the allurements of wealth, will, almost invariably, choose honor over profit. His ideal, of course, is to manage things in such a way as to obtain the one and keep the other. In any event, wealth seldom enters into the master/slave relationship, except that richer fellows, obviously, are able to bid more, if they wish, for the lovely nude animals—often exhibited writhing in the torchlit markets—who might best please them. But any well-mastered female, of course, kisses her master's whip, even though he be a peasant, with a fervor not inferior to that of a high slave on her knees before a Ubar. - (Guardsman of Gor)
