Love your life
  However mean your life,is meet it and love it;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bas 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 hours,even in a poorhouse.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the sping.
  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.
