All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind. ↗

— John Lubbock

I have never loved Fortune, even when she seemed most to love me. I never considered her treasures mine, neither her money, nor her office nor her influence. Her theft of these things, therefore. has taken away nothing of my own. Mother, my roof is the stars. My house is human goodness. My body is clothed. My stomach is full. And the thirstier part of me, my soul, drinks gladly from the pool of my books. So much for me. I am just fine. ↗

If God gave you contentment then you would never pursue your life purpose. It is your restlessness that pushes you to take action, change your life and seek more of what you could possibly be. ↗

Perhaps it's because I appreciate all I have so much that I don't worry about what I haven't got. ↗

There is greatness in the fear of God, contentment in faith of God, and honour in humility. ↗

If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart. ↗

I am thankful when I am hungry because then I know that when I eat, the food will taste better. Life has taught me that my true contentment rests in hope, and the pleasure itself is secondary. It is self-awareness, not happiness, that maintains peace. ↗

Women show men beauty in things beyond their ambitions. Women tell men to stop and smell the roses. ↗
