He Who Is Not Contented With What He Has Would Not

“He who is not satisfied with a little is satisfied with nothing.”

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

“Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.”

A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be.

“If thou wilt make a man happy, add not unto his riches but take away from his desires.”

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