Words and Expressions
一个舒适的家园是幸福的主要来源,它仅次于健康和一颗善良的心。
——悉尼·史密斯
Health is fundamental as it enables us to enjoy life and carry out our daily activities. A good conscience implies moral integrity and the absence of guilt or remorse, which brings inner peace and contentment. A comfortable house, while not as essential as these two factors, still plays a significant role. It provides a sense of security, stability, and a pleasant environment where one can relax and feel at ease.
Quote: A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.
