"If you have nothing but joy in this life, you are still rich."

"Contentment is the sibling of happiness;joy is the fountain of both."

"The hidden hand of contentment is in the rewards of the gratified. The hidden hand of bliss is in the rewards of the tranquil. The hidden hand of happiness is in the rewards of the elated. The hidden hand of joy is in the rewards of the jubilant."

"If you have food on your table, clothes on your back, a roof on your head, and a dream in your heart, you have everything you need in life."

"A year of contentment is worth more than ten of prosperity."

"You do not have to have the best of everything to make the best of everything."

"When truth looks in the mirror, virtue looks out.When courage looks in the mirror, faith looks out.When charity looks in the mirror, love looks out.When contentment looks in the mirror, peace looks out."

"If you want to know how fortunate you are, visit three places: the slum, the hospital, and the cemetery."

"Your divine needs are more important than your earthly wants."

"The world owes you nothing because the universe has already given you everything."
