热爱生活
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你都要面对它并经历它,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它.它不像你那样坏.你最富有的时候,它倒是看似最穷.爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点.
爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷.甚至在一个救济院里,你也可能有一些愉快、兴奋、光荣的时候.反射在救济院窗上的夕阳,跟富人家窗上的一样光亮;在各自门前,积雪同在早春融化.我只看到,一个从容的心灵,在那里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有让人振奋的思想.城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活.也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧.
视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要麻烦自己过多地去找新的花样,无论是新的衣服或新的朋友.怀旧点吧,回到过去吧.万物不变,是我们在变.你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想.
