Vance Roach · Answer 2

Wealth makes people virtuous.

Explanation:

Benjamin Franklin's "The Way to Wealth" is a compilation of proverbs as a form of advising people of the ethical codes of maintaining oneself. In it, he advocates the importance of frugality and the securing of personal virtue. He also asserts that this frugal nature of an individual will also lead to his gaining of wealth. The phrase "it being more difficult for a man in want to act always honestly" basically means that a person with wealth will be more virtuous than a person who doesn't. In his opinion, people who are frugal with their expenditure will keep more wealth which will in turn lead to virtue.
