I tell you to-night there is on the average more love in the homes of
the poor than in the palaces of the rich; and the meanest hut with love
in it is fit for the gods, and a palace without love is a den only fit
for wild beasts. That's my doctrine! You can't be so poor but that you
can help somebody. Good nature is the cheapest commodity in the world;
and love is the only thing that will pay ten per cent, to borrower and
lender both. Don't tell me that you have got to be rich! We have all a
false standard of greatness in the United States. We think here that a
man to be great must be notorious; he must be extremely wealthy or his
name must be between the lips of rumor. It is all nonsense! It is not
necessary to be rich to be great, or to be powerful to be happy; and the
happy man is the successful man. Happiness is the legal-tender of the
soul. Joy is wealth.
