Poverty is relative, and the lack of food and of the necessities of life is not necessarily a hardship. Spiritual and social ostracism, the invasion of your privacy, are what constitute the pain of poverty.

You cannot change the conclusion of the brain by torture, nor by social ostracism. But I will tell you what you can do by these and what you have done. You can make hypocrites by the million.

Invest in your future self; you will not face social ostracism if you do not know who won the big sports game last night.

You should read history and look at ostracism persecution martyrdom and that kind of thing. They always happen to the best men you know.
