I would injure no man, and should provoke no resentment; I would relieve every distress, and should enjoy the benedictions of gratitude. I would choose my friends among the wise, and my man among the virtuous; and therefore should be in no danger from treachery and unkindness. My children should by my care be learned and pious, and would repay to my age what their childhood had received - From Samuel Johnson's - Rasselas -
