Contentment
***************************************
To be content with what we posses is the
greatest and most secure of riches.
Contentment is not satisfaction. It is the grateful,
faithful, fruitful use of what we have, little or much
-Cicero-
To a contented man, enough is a
good as a feast.
To the contented, even poverty
and obscurity bring happiness.
To the discontented, even riches
and honors bring misery.
-Chinese saying-
Content is a good thing.
A thing the good alone can profit by
-J.Knowless-
Better is little with the fear of the
Lord.
than great treasure, and trouble
therewith.
-Franklin-
Poor and content is rich and rich
enough
But riches, fineless, is a poor as
winter;
To him that ever fears shall be
poor.
-Shakespeare-
When we have not what we like
we must like what we can get.
If we cannot get what we like, let
us like what we can get.
Level water does not run, nor a
contented man grumble.
