A contented mind is the best source for trouble.
Plautus
A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.
Joseph Addison
A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be.
Ann Plato

Hart Crane
Anyone's life truly lived consists of work, sunshine, exercise, soap, plenty of fresh air, and a happy contented spirit.

If all misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own and depart.
Socrates
If we bring not the good courage of minds covetous of truth, and truth only, prepared to hear all things, and decide upon all things, according to evidence, we should do more wisely to sit down contented in ignorance, than to bestir ourselves only to reap disappointment.
Frances Wright
If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but grumble with the rest.

It is great wealth to a soul to live frugally with a contented mind.
Lucretius
It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.
