Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase. (John Balguy)
The rarest feeling that ever lights the human face is the contentment of a loving soul. (Henry Beecher)
He who is not contented with little will never be satisfied with much. (Thomas Brooks)
Those who face that which is actually before them, unburdened by the past, undistracted by the future, these are they who live, who make the best use of their lives; these are those who have found the secret of contentment. (Alban Goodier)
The children of Israel did not find in the manna all the sweetness and strength they might have found in it; not because the manna did not contain them, but because they longed for meat. (St. John of the Cross)
When we cannot fin contentment in ourselves it is useless to seek it elsewhere. (Francois de La Rochefoucauld)
It is right to be contented with what we have, but never with what we are. (Sir James Mackintosh)
Conversion:
Conversion hay occur in an instant, but the process of coming from sinfulness into a new life can be a long and arduous journey. (Charles Colson)
It is not culture but conversion that we need first. Not education, but transformation. Not new knowledge, but a new nature. We must become new creations by the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit before we are ready to live Christ's life and bear His image. (Robert Cunningham)
The almighty power of God in the conversion of a sinner is the most mysterious of all the works of God. (Thomas Hooker)
A man can accept what Christ has done without knowing how it works; indeed he certainly won't know how it works until he's accepted it. (C. S. Lewis)
