"Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground."
"Man needs only a small patch of earth for his pleasures, and a smaller one still to rest beneath."
"He who is happy in his hut is better than he who is miserable in his palace."
"He is rich that is satisfied."
"Savour a slow-paced contented life."
"I may never be happy, but tonight I am content. Nothing more than an empty house, the warm hazy weariness from a day spent setting strawberry runners in the sun, a glass of cool sweet milk, and a shallow dish of blueberries bathed in cream. When one is so tired at the end of a day one must sleep, and at the next dawn there are more strawberry runners to set, and so one goes on living, near the earth. At times like this I'd call myself a fool to ask for more."
"If I continually focus on what I don't have, my life will always be completely empty despite the fact that it's completely full."
