Contented Quotes

He alone who walks strict and upright, and who, in matters of opinion, will be contented that others should be as free as himself and acquiesce when his opinion is freely overruled, will attain his object in the end Picture Quote #1

The secret of happiness is in a cheerful, contented mind. He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and can enjoy what others own Picture Quote #1

Men are more readily contented with no intellectual light than with a little; and wherever they have been taught to acquire some knowledge in order to please others, they have most generally gone on to acquire more, to please themselves Picture Quote #1

When we place our discontented egos on the altar of gratitude, we develop contented altar egos filled with thanksgiving Picture Quote #1

Agitators are a set of interfering, meddling people, who come down to some perfectly contented class of the community and sow the seeds of discontent amongst them. That is the reason why agitators are so absolutely necessary. Without them, in our incomplete state, there would be no advance towards civilization Picture Quote #1

Her future, she thought, was likely to be worse than her past, for after her years of contented renunciation, she had slipped back into desire and longing; she found joyless days of distasteful occupation harder and harder; she found the image of the intense and varied life she yearned for, and despaired of, becoming more and more importunate Picture Quote #1

I took her into bed with me and propped myself up with pillows against the headboard to let her nurse. As she nursed and the milk came, she began a little low contented sort of singing. I would feel milk and love flowing from me to her as once it had flowed to me. It emptied me. As the baby fed, I seemed slowly to grow empty of myself, as if in the presence of that long flow of love even grief could not stand Picture Quote #1

Books are living things and their task lies in their vows of silence. You touch them as they quiver with a divine pleasure. You read them and they fall asleep to happy dreams for the next 10 years. If you do them the favor of understanding them, of taking in their portions of grief and wisdom, then they settle down in contented residence in your heart Picture Quote #1

I am fond of history and am very well contented to take the false with the true. In the principal facts they have sources of intelligence in former histories and records, which may be as much depended on, I conclude, as anything that does not actually pass under ones own observation; and as for the little embellishments you speak of, they are embellishments, and I like them as such Picture Quote #1

How true it is that, if we are cheerful and contented, all nature smiles, the air seems more balmy, the sky clearer, the earth has a brighter green... the flowers are more fragrant... and the sun, moon, and stars all appear more beautiful, and seem to rejoice with us Picture Quote #1

Contented saturnine human figures, a dozen or so of them, sitting around a large long table... Perfect equality is to be the rule; no rising or notice taken when anybody enters or leaves. Let the entering man take his place and pipe, without obligatory remarks; if he cannot smoke... let him at least affect to do so, and not ruffle the established stream of things Picture Quote #1

I’m determined to be contented, and having plenty of money from working makes it easier for me Picture Quote #1

I wish that my husband’s friends had left him where he is, happy and contented in retirement Picture Quote #1

It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are Picture Quote #1

Upon the whole, a contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world Picture Quote #1

Physics has in the main contented itself with studying the abridged edition of the book of nature Picture Quote #1

You may set it down as a truth which admits of few exceptions, that those who ask your opinion really want your praise, and will be contented with nothing less Picture Quote #1

Gum, n. A substance greatly used by young women in place of a contented spirit and religious consolation Picture Quote #1

The generality of mankind are contented to be estimated by what they possess instead of what they are Picture Quote #1

An inventor is a man who looks upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world Picture Quote #1

A man who is contented with what he has done will never become famous for what he will do Picture Quote #1

One who is contented with what he has done will never become famous for what he will do. He has lain down to die. The grass is already growing over him Picture Quote #1

A female friend, amiable, clever, and devoted, is a possession more valuable than parks and palaces; and without such a muse, few men can succeed in life, none be contented Picture Quote #1

If you are foolish enough to be contented, don’t show it, but grumble with the rest Picture Quote #1

It is good to be a cynic it is better to be a contented cat and it is best not to exist at all. Universal suicide is the most logical thing in the world we reject it only because of our primitive cowardice and childish fear of the dark. If we were sensible we would seek death the same blissful blank which we enjoyed before we existed Picture Quote #1

If men could be contented to be what they are, there were no fear in marriage Picture Quote #1

People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained Picture Quote #1

We were contented to let things remain as the Great Spirit Chief made them. They were not; and would change the rivers and mountains if they did not suit them Picture Quote #1
