Famous quotes containing the word content:

    I were content to wearie out my paine,
    To bee Narsissus so she were a spring
    To drowne in hir those woes my heart do wring:
    And more I wish transformed to remaine:
    That whilest I thus in pleasures lappe did lye,
    I might refresh desire, which else would die.
    Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    He that wants money, means, and content is without three
    good friends.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Life must be filled up, and the man who is not capable of intellectual pleasures must content himself with such as his senses can afford.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
