Do not be satisfied with God's calling or his gifts in your life. Be satisfied with Jesus Christ himself.1 —LIU ZHENYING (KNOWN AS BROTHER YUN)

Money is a bonus of the job, but it doesn't always make you happy.

I don't think about being a star or anything, or even changes in life; it is not something that bothers me.

I don't have a sugar daddy, I've never had a sugar daddy.

Can anything be so elegant as to have few wants, and to serve them one's self?

But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.

A world in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Matthew Henry, the Puritan preacher and Bible commentator, made this statement after a thief stole his money: "Let me be thankful first because I was never robbed before; second, although they took my purse, they did not take my life; third, because, although they took my all, it was not much; and fourth, because it was I who was robbed, not I who robbed.

Anyone who waits for happiness will never be happy.

If you hope for happiness in the world, hope for it from God, and not from the world." —David Brainerd

I'm not always happy, any more than I'm always holy. But by God's grace, I'm happier in Christ now than I've ever been.

countless people step into financial bondage because they spend money they don't have in order to underwrite a "once in a lifetime opportunity." God is not behind every good deal! Self-control means turning down most good deals on things we want because God may have other and better plans for his money.
