The Simple Life
«Progress is not created by contented people»
«Men are contented to be laughed at for their wit, but not for their folly»
«I would do what I pleased, and doing what I pleased, I should have my will, and having my will, I should be contented; and when one is contented, there is no more to be desired; and when there is no more to be desired, there is an end of it.»
«One whose mind is contented with Truthfulness, is blessed with the Lord's Glance of Grace.»
«Men are to be guided only by their self-interests. Good government is a good balancing of these; and, except a keen eye and appetite for self-interest, requires no virtue in any quarter. To both parties it is emphatically a machine: to the discontented, a ''taxing-machine';' to the contented, a ''machine for securing property'.' Its duties and its faults are not those of a father, but of an active parish-constable.»
