Excerpt from Aes Triplex, and Other Essays

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 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 deli mcy. He has an ambitious soul who would ask more; he has a. Hopeful spirit who should look in such an enter prise to be successful. There is indeed one element in hu man destiny that not blind ness itself can controvert whatever else we are intended to do, we are not intended to succeed; failure is the fate allotted.
