"We never are too old for this, my dear, because it is a play we are playing all the time in one way or another. Our burdens are here, our road is before us, and the longing for goodness and happiness is the guide that leads us through many troubles and mistakes to the peace which is a true Celestial City. Now, my little pilgrims, suppose you begin again, not in play, but in earnest, and see how far on you can get before Father comes home."
“演这出戏永远没有年龄之分,亲爱的,事实上我们一直都在扮演,只是方式不同而已。我们重担在肩,道路就在眼前,追求善美、追求幸福的愿望引导我们跨越无数艰难险阻,最后踏入圣宁之地--真正的'天国'。来吧,往天国进发的小旅客们,再来一次吧。不是做戏,而是真心真意地去做,看看爸爸回来时你们走了多远的路。

“真的吗,妈妈?我们的重担在哪里?缺乏想像力的年轻女士艾美问道。
"Each of you told what your burden was just now, except Beth. I rather think she hasn't got any," said her mother.

"Yes, I have. Mine is dishes and dusters, and envying girls with nice pianos, and being afraid of people."
