“Contentment is an asset that we take for granted until we lose it. It's the brother of happiness, the sister of peace of mind, and the mother of purpose.”

“Happiness is the contentment in the heart, peace of mind, a sense of stability, a right attitude and being content with what is sufficient.”

“Our sisters and brothers were picked up in public by local commanders for the purpose of sex and luxury and we could do nothing.”

“So much in life depends on our attitude. The way we choose to see things and respond to others makes all the difference. To do the best we can and then to choose to be happy about our circumstances, whatever they may be, can bring peace and contentment. We can't direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude.”

“We train the mind so that we can enjoy greater peace, happiness, wisdom & equanimity.”

“We think of happiness as something we can take. But usually it comes from being content with what we have, and accepting ourselves.”
