Wouldn't it be something if we could have things we love in abudance without their losing that special attraction the want of them held for us.

Contentment is the equilibrium between the enjoyment of life now and the anticipation of what is to come.

Be happy, but never satisfied.

How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction.

It is no bad thing celebrating a simple life.

It is possible to evade a multitude of sorrows by the cultivation of an insignificant life.

A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.

Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers, and are famous preservers of good looks.

Do not be satisfied with God's calling or His gifts in your life. Be satisfied with Jesus Christ Himself.

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, freely submitting to, and taking delight in God's wise, and fatherly disposal in every condition.

I find a sufficiency of satisfaction in my own heart, through the grace of Christ that is in me. Though I have not outward comforts and worldly conveniences to supply my necessities, yet I have a sufficient portion between Christ and my soul abundantly to satisfy me in every condition.

My brethren, the reason why you have not got contentment in the things of the world is not because you have not got enough of them-that is not the reason-but the reason is, because they are not things proportionable to that immortal soul of yours that is capable of God himself.
