As a rule, there is more genuine satisfaction, a truer life, and more obtained from life in the humble cottages of the poor than in the palaces of the rich. I always pity the sons and daughters at a later age, but I am glad to remember that they do not know what they have missed.
They have kind fathers and mothers, and think that they enjoy the sweetness of the blessings to the fullest: but this they cannot do; for the poor who has in his father his constant companion, tutor, and model, and in his mother—holy name—his nurse, teacher, guardian angel, saint, all in one, has a richer, more precious in life than any rich man’s son who is not so favored can possible know, and compared with which all other fortunes count for little.
It is because I know how sweet and happy and pure the home of honest poverty is, show free from perplexing care, from social envies and emulations, how loving and how united its members may be in the common interest of supporting the family, that I sympathize with the rich man’s boy congratulate the poor man’s boy; and it is for these reasons that from the ranks of the poor so many strong, eminent, self-reliant men have always sprung and always must spring.
If you will read the list of the immortals who "were not born to die," you will find that most of them have been born to the precious heritage of poverty.
It seems, nowadays, a matter of universal desire that poverty should be abolished. We should be quite willing to abolish luxury, but to abolish honest, industrious, self-denying poverty would be to destroy the soil upon which mankind produces the virtues which enable our race to reach a still higher civilization than it now possesses.
