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’re richest.The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house.
不管你的生活如何卑微，你都得面对与度过；不要逃避，更不要诅咒。生活并不像你想象的那样糟糕；当你富甲天下时，生活却显得贫瘠乏味。就是在天堂，挑剔的人也总能挑出缺点。虽然贫穷，你也应该热爱生活，因为即使在救济院，你也有自己的快乐、幸福与辉煌的时刻。
