Contentment Quote by Marilyn Wilson
““If we wish to gain contentment we might try these rules”: • Allow ourselves to complain of nothing, not even the weather. • Never picture ourselves in any circumstances in which we are not. • Never compare our lot with that of another. • Never allow ourselves to wish that this or that had been otherwise. • Never dwell on the morrow; remember that is God’s and not ours.””
