P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Granted, but, after all, the man who looks upon the loss of money as anything compared to the loss of honor, or health, or self-respect, or friends,--a man who can find no source of happiness except in riches,--is to be pitied for his blindness. I certainly feel that the loss of money, of home and my home comforts, is dreadful,--that to be driven again to find a resting-place away from those I love, and from where I had fondly supposed I was to end my days, and where I had lavished time, money, everything, to make my descent to the grave placid and pleasant,--is, indeed, a severe lesson; but, after all, I firmly believe it is for the best, and though my heart may break, I will not repine.

白话
巴纳姆承认，失去金钱、失去家和家里的舒适确实可怕，被逼着离开所爱的人、离开原以为能养老送终的地方，实在是个严厉的教训。但他认为，一个人如果把丢钱看得比丢名誉、健康、自尊或朋友还重，除了发财就找不到别的快乐，那才真可怜，是瞎了眼。他坚信这一切终究是最好的安排，哪怕心碎也不抱怨。核心是：钱重要，但不是唯一；失去时允许自己难过，但别把全部幸福押在钱上。
上下文
