Louis XIV
He that is discontented in one place will seldom be happy in another.
Aesop
I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.
John Muir
It is a wise man that does know the contented man is never poor, whilst the discontented man is never rich.
Frank Herbert

Joseph de Maistre

Mason Cooley
The discontented man finds no easy chair.
Benjamin Franklin

Marlene Dietrich
We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.
Florence Nightingale
