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 these 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.
—Robert Louis Stevenson.
Who is the honest man?
He that doth still and strongly good pursue,
To God, his neighbor and himself most true,
Whom neither force nor fawning can
Unpin, or wrench from giving all their due.
—George Herbert.
Take the Sunday with you through the week,
And sweeten with it all the other days.
