The greatest wealth is contentment with a little.

He is not rich that possesses much but he that is content with what he has.

There's nothing better than cake but more cake.

Joy is not getting what you want; it's appreciating what you have.

Joy is not getting what you want. It's fully appreciating what you have. And it starts with the basics, like water.

The vanity and insatiability of the human heart are unspeakable. What a man has does not please him; what he does not have, that he yearns for.

What can it profit the soul that the body should be in good condition, free, and full of life; that it should eat, drink, and act according to its pleasure; when even the most impious slaves of every kind of vice are prosperous in these matters?

If we don't use the resources available to us but instead want other resources we don't have, then we're testing God. This is what Satan wanted Christ to do.

A year of contentment is worth more than ten of prosperity.

Like so many American families, our families weren't asking for much. They didn't begrudge anyone else's success or care that others had much more than they did... in fact, they admired it.

Today you will envy the blessings of another, or you will bask in the wonder of the amazing grace you have been given.

Contentment celebrates grace. The contended heart is satisfied with the Giver and is therefore freed from craving the next gift.
