Summary

This quote suggests that living within our means should be a priority but also implies that we might resort to borrowing money to sustain our happiness.

I have no conscience, none, but I would not like to bring a soul into this world.

A parent is only like to God: if his work turns out bad so much the worse for him; he dare not wash his hands of it. Time and years can never bring the day when you can say to your child, Soul, what have I to do with you?

True humility is intelligent self respect which keeps us from thinking too highly or too meanly of ourselves. It makes us modest by reminding us how far we have come short of what we can be.
