In which work has a man not surrendered his independence, with much resistance, and when the work is done, asks, what did I accomplish in giving up my independence, thinking that the process was so sweet, when in the process I lost the best thing, my independence, which I intended to keep.
AS best I understand it. DEEP!

I believe it is saying "Save the best for last." Cause if you do the easiest or best thing first what have to go to look forward to when doing the very hard stuff!

Through the hardest times in life, you are left with the knowledge to know what is really important.

is it correct to give up something in which you gave your very best? what if you gave up now? have you ever wondered if you did made the grade, would it have been a much better deed? would it have made a better mark?
that's what i interpret on your quotation...
