Contentment is natural wealth.
He is the richest who is content with the least.
We often feel that we lack something, and seem to see that very quality in someone else, promptly attributing all our own qualities to him too, and a kind of ideal contentment as well. And so the happy mortal is a model of complete perfection--which we have ourselves created.
Pegging your contentment to the overall state of the world rather than of your own life: the basis of morality, or a sort of madness?
Being content is perhaps no less easy than playing the violin well: and requires no less practice.
Joy is a deeply felt contentment that transcends difficult circumstances and derives maximum enjoyment from every good experience.
Deep, contended joy comes from a place of complete security and confidence [in God] - even in the midst of trial.
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.
Contentment consist not in adding more fuel, but in taking away some fire.
Content is not the pathway to great deeds.
