A Man's Task....
To be honest, to be kind, to earn a little, and to spend a little
less, to make, upon the whole, a family happier for his presence,
to renounce when that shall be necessary, and not to be embittered,
to keep a few friends, but those without capitulation; above all,
on the same condition, to keep friends with himself; here is a task
for all a man has of fortitude and delicacy. ĞRobert Louis Stevenson
