A man builds a fine house and now he has a master, and a task for life he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days.

Summary

This quote highlights the notion that achieving success or acquiring something valuable comes with long-term responsibilities and commitments. The "fine house" represents an accomplishment or a desirable possession that one works hard to obtain. However, having it necessitates ongoing efforts to maintain, improve, and take care of it. Just like a house needs constant attention to function properly, individuals similarly have to dedicate their time and energy to sustain what they have achieved, symbolizing the ongoing responsibilities that come with success.
