And then, let all remember, that every calling, or occupation, or duty, or manner or class of life, hath its painful side and its drawbacks and hindrances. Let all remember that every fire hath its smoke, and that it is folly to vainly imagine that one's own task is the hardest, and that the tasks of others are free from defects and hardships.
