Real contentment must come from within. You and I can not change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
Where wealth and freedom reign contentment fails, And honour sinks where commerce long prevails.
Oliver Goldsmith
Image
All is lovely outside my house and inside my house and myself.
Winslow Homer
Image
A good life with contentment is itself a great wealth. For we brought nothing with us into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. So if we have enough of what we need, let us be content with that.
Saint Timothy
Image
Be always displeased at what thou art, if thou desirest to attain to what thou art not.
Saint Augustine

A lonely impulse of delight

Louise Dickinson Rich

To see an enemy humiliated gives a certain contentment, but this is jejune compared with the highly blent satisfaction of seeing him humiliated by your benevolent action or concession on his behalf. That is the sort of revenge which falls into the scale of virtue.
George Eliot
Image
There is a part of you that is Love itself, and that is what we must fall into. It is already there. Once you move your identity to that level of deep inner contentment, you will realize you are drawing upon a Life that is much larger than your own and from a deeper abundance.
Richard Rohr
Image
Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little In comparison to eternal realities.

Image
A sense of contentment is crucial to being happy. Physical health, material wealth and friends contribute to this, but contentment governs our relations with them all.
Dalai Lama
Image
Meekness is marked by silence in the face of abuse and infamy, by submission to God's way, which is higher than our way as heaven is higher than the earth, by submissiveness to others for their welfare. It is the source of inexpressible joy and contentment.
V. Raymond Edman
Image
The more you are possession oriented, the less happy you will be. The less happy you are, the farther away from the Divine, from prayer, from gratitude you will be. Be austere. Live with the necessary and forget about desires they are fantasies in the mind, ripples in the lake. They only disturb you, they can never lead you to any contentment.
Rajneesh
Image
A house isn't a home without the ineffable contentment of a cat with its tail folded about its feet. A cat gives mystery, charm, suggestion.
Lucy Maud Montgomery
Image
Happy is the man who can endure the highest and lowest fortune. He who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity has deprived misfortune of its power.
Seneca the Younger
Image
The Truth is that contentment is not found in having everything we think we want but in choosing to be satisfied with what God has already provided. The Truth is that those who insist on having their own way often end up with unnecessary heartache, while those who wait on the Lord always get His best.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss
Image
Every one is well or ill at ease, according as he finds himself! not he whom the world believes, but he who believes himself to be so, is content and in him alone belief gives itself being and reality
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that happiness is right at their heels.
Bertolt Brecht
Image
Live with the gods. And he does so who constantly shows them that his soul is satisfied with what is assigned to him.

Image
Contentment... is the soul's enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding.
Arthur W. Pink
Image
Contentment is realizing that God has already provided everything we need for our present happiness.
