- There is a man who toils all day in order to gain his livelihood, to give himself a little comfort or a little pleasure, and so life goes on.
- And there is another man who has a family, who has others to think about, who works for them. Sometimes he forgets his own pleasure and comfort for the comfort and pleasure of those who depend upon him. He hardly has time to think about his own comfort or about himself. His pleasure is in the pleasure of those who depend upon him, his comfort is in their comfort.
- And there is still another man who tries to be useful to his town, to improve its condition, to help the education of the people of his town. He is engaged in this work, and very often he forgets himself in striving for the happiness of those for whom he is working.
- There are also those who live for their nation, who work for their nation, who give their whole life to it. They are only conscious of their nation.
