Contentment Quote by Bangambiki Habyarimana

“It’s not how much material things you have hoarded that will make you happy but how satisfied you are with what you have so far. A rich person can be the poorest wreck if he is not satisfied with what he already has and a materially poor can be happy if he is satisfied with the little he has.” quote by Bangambiki Habyarimana
