Keep courage. Whatever you do, do not feel sorry for yourself. You will win in a great age of opportunity.

The line pairs emotional discipline with optimism. “Keep courage” and “do not feel sorry for yourself” reject self-pity as a paralyzing stance; Evans frames it as a choice that undermines agency. The final sentence—“You will win in a great age of opportunity”—reorients the listener from inward grievance to outward possibility, suggesting that success is less about perfect conditions than about a resilient posture toward life. The moral logic is pragmatic and pastoral: courage plus refusal of self-pity enables one to recognize and seize opportunities that a discouraged mind would miss.
