Love Your Life
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and
call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest
when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in
paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some
pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting
sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as
from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early
in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly
there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor
seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be
they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most
think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often
happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest
means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a
garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new
things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to
them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your
thoughts.
