Being content with what you have already is an art form that leads to a peace that can’t be replaced by anything else.

Never be content with your work, your relationships, your life. That's the stupid advice philosophers give today.

Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the determination to make the right things happen

Happiness does not come from having much, but from being content, even when you have little.

Contentment - being happy while doing something - and complacency - being happy while doing nothing - are entirely different.

The contented person finds rest in death, and for the greedy person, death puts an end to his long list of desires.

Texts and e-mails travel no faster than phone calls and telegrams, and their content isn't necessarily richer or poorer.

“And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows) you will be content that you have known me.”

They merit more praise who know how to suffer misery than those who temper themselves with contentment.
