| There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy. |
| True contentment depends not upon what we have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too little for Alexander. |
| There is no austerity equal to a balanced mind, and there is no happiness equal to contentment; there is no disease like covetousness, and no virtue like mercy. |
| Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy. |
| True contentment comes with empathy. |
| We may pass violets looking for roses. We may pass contentment looking for victory. |
| The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment. |
| Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. |
| One often learns more from ten days of agony than ten years of contentment. |
| Contentment consist not in adding more fuel, but in taking away some fire. |
