Satisfaction Quotes

He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.

Epictetus

There is something sustaining in the very agitation that accompanies the first shocks of trouble, just as an acute pain is often a stimulus, and produces an excitement which is transient strength. It is in the slow, changed life that follows--in the time when sorrow has become stale, and has no longer an emotive intensity that counteracts its pain--in the time when day follows day in dull unexpectant sameness, and trial is a dreary routine--it is then that despair threatens; it is then that the peremptory hunger of the soul is felt, and eye and ear are strained after some unlearned secret of our existence, which shall give to endurance the nature of satisfaction.

George Eliot

That spot of earth has special charms for me, in which a limited income produces happiness, and moderate wealth abundance.

Marcus Valerius Martial

Satisfaction consists in freedom from pain, which is the positive element of life.

Arthur Schopenhauer

You can never get enough of the things you don't need, because the things you don't need can never satisfy.

Marvin J. Ashton

Thomas Alva Edison

Linus Pauling

No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

When we don't have what we like, we must like what we have.

Proverb

I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle -- victorious.

Vince Lombardi
