Love Your Life Henry David Thoreau However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;donot shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest whenyou are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Loveyour life,poor as it is. You may perhaps have somepleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in apoor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows ofthe alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode;the snowmelts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live ascontentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in apalace. The town’s poor seem to me often to live the mostin dependent lives of any. May be they are simply great enough to receivewithout misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported bythe town; but it of ten happens that they are not abovesupporting themselves by dishonest means. which should be more disreputable.Cultivatepoverty like a garden herb,like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get newthings,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return tothem. Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothesand keep your thoughts.
