To
be honest, to be kind—to earn a little and 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
these without capitulation—above all, on the same grim
condition, to keep friends with himself—here is a task
for all that a man has of fortitude and delicacy.
—Robert
Louis Stevenson
