Arabian Wisdom, by John Wortabet, [1913], at sacred-texts.com
Contentment is to refrain from coveting what others have.
Contentment is a treasure which is inexhaustible.
The most thankful of men is he who is contented.
He who seeks riches must seek them in contentment.
Give freely, and be content with little.
A contented man is happy in life.
Life is a vanishing space of time, and he alone vanquishes its changing fortunes who lives in contentment.
Be content with what God has given you, and you will be the richest of men.
If you cannot have what you want, be content with what you have.
If all cannot be obtained, a part may be attained.
There is relief in despair.
