The following is advice John Adams, second President of the United States, gave his daughter Nabby:

Daughter! Get you an honest man for a husband, and keep him
honest. No matter whether he is rich, provided he be independent.
Regard the honor and moral character of the man more than all
other circumstances. Think of no other greatness but that of the
soul, no other riches but those of the heart. An honest, sensible,
humane man, above all the littleness of vanity and extravagances of
imagination, laboring to do good rather than be rich, to be useful
rather than make a show, living in modest simplicity clearly within
his means and free from debts and obligations, is really the most
respectable man in society, makes himself and all about him most happy
