Being "contented" ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Happiness consists not in having much, but in being content with little.
Marguerite Gardiner
Nobody got anywhere in the world by simply being content.
Louis L'Amour
Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get.
Bernard Meltzer
The trade unions, far from being content with these declarations, established international liaisons and supported every policy based on pacification and understanding.
