Satisfaction

Poor and content is rich, and rich enough.

The higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash, also.

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

Choose the life that is most useful and habit will make it the most agreeable

Resolve and thou art free

Happy is the one who knows the causes of things

My advice to you is get married: if you find a good wife you'll be happy; if not, you'll become a philosopher

Contentment is the only real wealth

The greater the obstacle, the more the glory in overcoming it

Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

No one possesses unalloyed pleasure; there is some anxiety mingled with the joy

Joy is not in things; it is in us

The sweetest of all sounds is praise

He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well

I have the simplest tastes. I am always satisfied with the best

I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments.

To have a good life you need to live hidden

No wise man ever wished to be younger

I awoke one morning and found myself famous
