Look at your own povertywelcome itcherish itdon't be afraids

Summary

This quote is suggesting that one should embrace their own poverty (taken metaphorically) and not fear it. Acknowledging one's limitations or shortcomings allows for vulnerability and open-heartedness. By sharing not only one's difficulties but also their love and experiences, one can truly connect with others on a deeper level and live a more fulfilling life. It implies that sharing both the highs and lows of one's existence leads to a more authentic and meaningful human connection.

In Italy, for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace - and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.

Class is an aura of confidence that is being sure without being cocky. Class has nothing to do with money. Class never runs scared. It is self-discipline and self-knowledge. It's the sure footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
