To be content with what one has is the greatest and truest of riches.

The voice from the tree did not summon them to do, but to be satisfied with what was done.

O God give us serenity to accept what cannot be changed courage to change what should be changed and wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

The more we are content with our own poverty, the closer we are to God, for then we accept our poverty in peace, expecting nothing from ourselves and everything from God.

Happy is the person who has learned the secret of being content with whatever life brings him, and has learned to rejoice in the simple and beautiful things around him.

Why worry? If you've done the very best you can, worrying won't make it any better

I am an old man and have had many worries, but most have never come to pass.

Gratitude to God is to accept everything, even my problems, with joy.
