Truth is a deep kindness that teaches us to be content in our everyday life and share with the people the same happiness.

If you have easy self-contentment you might have a very very cheap source of happiness.

Everything has its wonders even darkness and silence and I learn whatever state I may be in therein to be content.

The greatest wealth is to live content with little.

Most Americans aren't the sort of citizens the Founding Fathers expected they are contented serfs. Far from being active critics of government they assume that its might makes it right.

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

One person who has mastered life is better than a thousand persons who have mastered only the contents of books but no one can get anything out of life without God.

The impressions of the spriritual experiences gave my future life its form and content.

We are perhaps uniquely among the earth's creatures the worrying animal. We worry away our lives fearing the future discontent with the present unable to take in the idea of dying unable to sit still.

An author is a fool who not content with boring those he lives with insists on boring future generations.
