"He that's content hath enough...." - Quote by Benjamin Franklin

“At twenty years of age the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment.”

“Interest which blinds some People, enlightens others.”

“Governments having failed the people, the people are entirely justified in assuming for themselves an essential role in government. Where a government takes proper measures to protect the people under its care, such a proceeding might have been thought both unnecessary and unjustifiable: But here it is quite the Reverse.”

“True happiness comes from having a sense of inner peace and contentment, which in turn must be achieved by cultivating altruism, love and compassion, and by eliminating anger, selfishness and greed.”

“We find that the more a cultivated reason devotes itself to the aim of enjoying life and happiness, the further does man get away from true contentment.”

“There is a joy in going without things, a fine tang in eliminating the superfluous.”

“Men are in general so tricky, so envious, and so cruel that when we find one who is only weak, we are too happy.”

“Happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationships with people you love and respect.”

“The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”
