MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES ON CONTENTMENT

 

Contentment and Serenity

Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, the last of life, for which the first was made; our times are in his hand who saith, ‘A whole I planned, youth shows but half; trust God: See all, nor be afraid! – Robert Browning

The cost of experience is greater than that of any other treasure gained. Yet, in gratitude for all of life’s experiences, we experience the greatest peace. – Steve Brunkhorst

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time.
– Sir John Lubbock

As we become curators of our own contentment on the Simple Abundance path…we learn to savor the small with a grateful heart. – Sarah Ban Breathnach

The three indispensables of genius are understanding, feeling, and perseverance. The three things that enrich genius are contentment of mind, the cherishing of good thoughts, and exercising the memory. – Robert Southey (1774 – 1843)

Kindness and Happiness

That best portion of a good man s life? His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
– William Wordsworth

I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings. – John Burroughs

We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects. – Herman Melville

Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. – Og Mandino

Happiness is spiritual, born of truth and love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it. – Mary Baker Eddy

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate. – Albert Schweitzer

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there can be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again. – William Penn

Having a heart for making a difference means that something or someone made a difference in my heart first. – Lee Wise

If we can augment our gift giving by giving more of ourselves to those we love, all the time and in various ways, we will have a good chance of helping them and ourselves live happier, better lives. – Earl Nightingale

People are like stars… we all have our own special light that shines from within. Sometimes we find our light to be dim and we struggle to shine… but that is when we need the light shed from the other stars to help us light our path once again. A true light that comes from within, from our divine Maker is so brilliant that it penetrates into the souls of the other stars onto which it shines, leaving it’s impression for eternity. Are you shining for someone today? – Unkhown
