Every man is rich or poor according to the proportion between his desires and his enjoyments; any enlargement of wishes is therefore equally destructive to happiness with the diminution of possession, and he that teaches another to long for what he never shall obtain is no less an enemy to his quiet than if he had robbed him of part of his patrimony.

I was not born for courts or great affairs;I pay my debts, believe, and say my prayers.Pope.

They pass peaceful lives who ignore mine and thine.

If you want a fulfilled life, stop thinking about wealthy people and what they have and you don't. Stop thinking from a place of scarcity.

Well I've had a happy life.

Happiness is prosperity combined with virtue.
