unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag, of my desk, my mind, I find life a bit of a drag. Not always, mind you. Usually I'm like my frying pan useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan.
Anne Sexton
Image
We can't forever be spending our lives paying for political follies that never gave us anything but always took from us, and I amcontent with the narrowest metes and bounds provided I have peace and quiet for work.
Stefan Zweig
Image
It is not enough to be happy, one must be content.
Victor Hugo
Image
That happy state of mind, so rarely possessed, in which we can say, I have enough, is the highest attainment of philosophy.
Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
Image
In a lifestyle where there are no boundaries, it becomes a challenge to find one's true self. If everything comes easily, there is no way to establish worth. And if nothing has real value, then there is no way to gauge satisfaction or accomplishment or contentment.
Tami Hoag

Remember that very little is needed to make a happy life.
Marcus Aurelius
Image
Seek wisdom. Wisdom waits to be gathered. She cannot be bartered or sold. She is a fight for the diligent. And only the diligent will find her. The lazy man - the stupid man - never even looks. Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. Seek wisdom. Find her, and you will find success and contentment.
Andy Andrews

I think instead [of happiness] we should be working for contentment... an inner sense of fulfillment that's relatively independent of external circumstances.
Andrew Weil
Image
The men of the clique live together because they have the same kind of soul, and their narrowness is a narrowness of spiritual coherence and contentment, like that which exists in hell . . .
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Image
Contentment is just the realization that God has already provided for me today all that I need for my present peace and happiness.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Image
Contentment should be the hallmark of my life, as I put my affairs in the hands of God.
W. Phillip Keller
Image
To know people is wisdom, but to know yourself is enlightenment. to master people takes force, but to master yourself takes strength. to know contentment is wealth, and to live with strength resolve. to never leave whatever you are is to abide, and to die without getting lost- that is to live on and on.
Laozi
Image
Whoever is not in his coffin and the dark grave, let him know he has enough.
Walt Whitman
Image
The West for me means ambition, the East contentment. My heart is ever in one, my soul in the other.
Ameen Rihani
Image
Contentment is better than divinations or visions.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
Contentment is not escape from the battle, but rather an abiding peace and confidence in the midst of the battle.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
I don't look for bliss, just contentment.
Alison Krauss
Image
Better to be happy with the cod fish in your plate now, than to linger for the taste of a tuna that is still swimming in the sea.
Dennis Adonis
Image
All goes back to the earth, and so I do not desire pride of excess or power, but the contentments made by men who have had little: the fisherman's silence receiving the river's grace, the gardener's musing on rows.
Wendell Berry
Image
Had there not been five bad qualities, all the people would have been righteous. Contentment with ignorance love for worldly life miserliness inspite of much wealth ostentation in (good) deeds and pride in their own intelligence.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Contentment is the only real wealth.
Alfred Nobel
Image
When my mouth shall be filled with dust, and the worm shall feed, and feed sweetly upon me, when the ambitious man shall have no satisfaction if the poorest alive tread upon him, nor the poorest receive any contentment in being made equal to princes, for they shall be equal but in dust.
John Donne
Image
The virtue of contentment is the acquiescence of the mind in the lot God has given
