The only really happy folk are married women and single men.

Summary

This quote suggests that marriage brings contentment to women, while being single leads to happiness for men. It implies that married women experience a sense of fulfillment and happiness within the institution of marriage. On the other hand, single men are portrayed as enjoying freedom and independence, leading to their happiness. The quote assumes that marriage may not provide the same level of happiness for men or singlehood for women. However, it should be acknowledged that individual perspectives and experiences may vary, and generalizing happiness based on gender or marital status may not hold true for everyone.

You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.
