300 BC·Athens, Greece
If you wish to make Pythocles wealthy, don't give him more money; rather, reduce his desires.
Plain savors bring us a pleasure equal to a luxurious diet, when all the pain due to want is removed; and bread and water produce the highest pleasure, when one who needs them puts them to his lips.
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing.
Marcus Aurelius·175 ADWhen you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.
Yamamoto Tsunetomo·1716There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man's whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue. Live being true to the single purpose of the moment. Everyone lets the present moment slip by, then looks for it as though he thought it were somewhere else.
EpicurusHe who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing.
