This quote is a hundred percent accurate. As difficult as it is for most people to admit, when they come into large sums of money, it completely changes them. For example, how many stories are there of someone winning the lottery, getting their money, start spending it, getting used to the ritzy lifestyle, burn through all of the money and then the family gets completely torn apart because they can't handle living a "normal" middle-class life anymore? The concept of money and material wealth will be the downfall of the human race. Nobody is satisfied with what they have if they think they can get more. All of the great empires in history have fallen because they got greedy and tried to acquire more land, but they didn't take into account that somebody already had that land and they weren't going to relinquish it without a fight. Greed and the hunger for more wealth will never go away; therefore, they will continue to defeat our society until the end of time.
