  2. Ellis Peters _ The Potter's Field

    Every man has within him only one life and one nature ... It behooves a man to look within himself and turn to the best dedication possible those endowments he has from his Maker.

No one who is not free can give freely.

He seems self-sufficient; he becomes a cushion for others. And because happiness seems unforced, that person usually gets no credit.
