Satisfaction

Choose the life that is most useful and habit will make it the most agreeable

Contentment is the only real wealth

The greater the obstacle, the more the glory in overcoming it

No one possesses unalloyed pleasure; there is some anxiety mingled with the joy

Joy is not in things; it is in us

I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments.

No wise man ever wished to be younger

I awoke one morning and found myself famous

Snug as a bug in a rug

Middle age is the time when a man is always thinking that in a week or two he will feel as good as ever

Even in the centuries which appear to us to be the most monstrous and foolish, the immortal appetite for beauty has always found satisfaction

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new

Happiness grows at our own firesides, and is not to be picked in strangers' gardens

It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness

Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants

To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment

He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature

Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves

The ineffable joy of forgiving and being forgiven forms an ecstasy that might well arouse the envy of the gods

Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love
