All fortune belongs to him who has a contented mind. Is not the whole earth covered with leather for him whose feet are encased in shoes?

Cloud nine gets all the publicity, but cloud eight is actually cheaper, less crowded, and has a better view.

Oh, don't the days seem lank and long, When all goes right and nothing goes wrong And isn't your life extremely flat With nothing whatever to grumble at!

He who is contented is rich.

When the shoe fits, the foot is forgotten; when the belt fits, the belly is forgotten; when the heart is right, "for" and "against" are forgotten. There is no change in what is inside, no following what is outside, when the adjustment to events is comfortable. One begins with what is comfortable and never experiences what is uncomfortable, when one knows the comfort of forgetting what is comfortable.

Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything.

I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content

Content may dwell in all stations. To be low, but above contempt, may be high enough to be happy.

If you would know contentment, let your deeds be few.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.
