Quotes by Contentment

Be contented with whatsoever is; never ask for more. The moment you ask for more you have asked for hell. The moment you ask for more you have asked for misery. The desire for more creates misery.

Rajneesh

Don't have any desire for peace, and see how the turmoil within you vanishes. Don't beg for contentment and see how contentment showers down on you. Please try this - only then will you understand.

Rajneesh

It is not for man to rest in absolute contentment.

Robert Southey

Robert Wilson Lynd
