To be content with little is difficult; to be content with much, impossible.

True contentment is a real, even an active virtue-not only affirmative but creative. It is the power of getting out of any situation all there is in it.

But if I'm content with a little, Enough is as good as a feast.

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

The contented man is never poor.

Enjoy your little while the fool is seeking for more.

Learn to be pleased with everything; with wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others; with poverty, for not having much to care for; and with obscurity, for being unenvied.

A wise man cares not for what he cannot have.

Content lodges oftener in cottages than palaces.

I am always content with what happens; for I know that what God chooses is better than what I choose.

He who knows how to be content will be content with little.

He who is content in his poverty, is wonderfully rich.

Content is better than riches.

A little bird is content with a little nest.

A contented heart is an even sea in the midst of all storms.

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

That best of blessings, a contented mind.

The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right.

And you have the right to arrange your own life under the blue sky and the hot sun, to get a drink of water, to stretch, to travel wherever you like without a convoy. So what's this about unwiped feet? And what's this about a mother-in-law? What about the main thing in life, all its riddles? ... Do not pursue what is illusory-property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade ... Live with a steady superiority over life-don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is, after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing. It is enough if you don't freeze in the cold and if thirst and hunger don't claw at your insides. If your back isn't broken, if your feet can walk, if both arms can bend, if both eyes see, and if both ears hear, then whom should you envy? And why? ... and prize above all else in the world those who love you and wish you well.

He has enough who is content.
