“Learn to be pleased with everything; with wealth, so far as it makes us beneficial to others; with poverty, for not having much to care for, and with obscurity, for being unenvied.”
Plutarch
“Wealth and poverty: the one is the parent of luxury and indolence, and the other of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent”
Plato
“Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness - great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.”
Jim Rohn
“Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation.”
Elbert Hubbard
“Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement! God wills to be displayed and known and loved and cherished and worshiped.”
John Piper
“It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young, and to recall them with satisfaction when we are old.”
Leigh Hunt
“Everything for us right now, for the organization, is kind of uncharted waters. But it's not satisfaction for me. I have high expectations for our team.”
