It is right to be contented with what we have, never with what we are.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There are times when it is best to be content with what one has, so as not to lose everything.
Things are not as we would like them to be. There is only one way to deal with it, namely to try and be all right oneself.
If everyone could learn that what is right for me does not make it right for anyone else, the world would be a much happier place.
Let our lives be in accordance with our convictions of right, each striving to carry out our principles.
Is freedom anything else than the right to live as we wish? Nothing else.
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
It becomes us, therefore, to be contented, and dutiful subjects.
May we think of freedom, not as the right to do as we please, but as the opportunity to do what is right.
Our accepting what we are must always inhibit our being what we ought to be.
We cannot be contented because we are happy, and we cannot be happy because we are contented.
