Contented Quotes (page 14)

An alligator lifts its head and swallows the ocean, then the ocean floor becomes a desert covering the alligator in sand drifts. Changes do happen.

Man's mind is his basic tool of survival. Life is given to him, survival is not. His body is given to him, its sustenance is not. His mind is given to him, its content is not. To remain alive, he must act, and before he can act he must know the nature and purpose of his action. He cannot obtain his food without a knowledge of food and of the way to obtain it. He cannot dig a ditch-or build a cyclotron-without a knowledge of his aim and of the means to achieve it. To remain alive, he must think Ayn Rand
Lao Tzu quote: "When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare..."
When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you. Lao Tzu
It had been the longest time since she had had a rib-scraping laugh. She had forgotten how deep and down it could be. So different from the miscellaneous giggles and smiles she had learned to be content with these past few years. Toni Morrison
Cory Doctorow quote: "Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about."
Conversation is king. Content is just something to talk about. Cory Doctorow
Franz Kafka quote: "I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand..."
I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe. Franz Kafka
