"人柄以外に永続するものはない"

Walt Whitman

Simplified Meaning:

Material things and even circumstances in life can change or be lost over time, but who you are inside stays with you. Imagine you have a fancy car, a big house, or lots of money. All these things can disappear in an instant through bad luck, accidents, or other events beyond your control. However, qualities like kindness, honesty, patience, and courage are part of your character. These qualities help you deal with difficulties and earn respect and trust from others. For example, think of someone like Nelson Mandela. He spent many years in prison and lost much in terms of material wealth. Yet, his inner qualities of forgiveness, resilience, and leadership remained strong and eventually helped him make a huge positive impact on the world. In your own life, working on being a good person can help you face tough times better, build stronger relationships, and leave a lasting impression on others, even when other things might be taken away.
