“And I've succeeded beyond my hopes, for here you are, a steady, sensible businessman, doing heaps of good with your money, and laying up the blessings of the poor, instead of dollars. But you are not merely a businessman, you love good and beautiful things, enjoy them yourself, and let others go halves, as you always did in the old times.

Yes, and when I have my flock, I'll just point to you, and say "There's your model, my lads.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women
