| Quote:I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.[Martin Luther King Jr.] Quote:The women of this nation in 1876, have greater cause for discontent, rebellion and revolution than the men of 1776.[Susan B. Anthony] Quote:I have not felt remotely cool for a long time, thanks largely to the relentless efforts of my teenage son, whose goal in life is to make me feel 3,500 years old. We'll be in the car, and he'll say, 'You wanna hear my new CD?' And I, flattered that he thinks his old man might like the same music he does, will say 'Sure!' So he increases the sound-system volume setting from '4' to 'Meteor Impact,' and he puts in a CD by a band with a name like 'Pustule,' and the next thing I know gigantic nuclear bass notes have blown out all the car windows and activated both the driver- and passenger-side air bags, and I'm writhing on the floor, screaming for mercy with jets of blood spurting three feet from my ears. My son then ejects the CD, smiling contentedly, knowing he as purchased a winner. On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself.[Mark Twain] Quote:My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.[Abraham Lincoln] Quote:A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged; it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and time in which it is used.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.[Socrates] Quote:If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.[Socrates] Quote:He is richest who is content with the least.[Socrates] Quote:Wealth is the parent of luxury and indolence, and poverty of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.[Plato] Quote:Who is rich? He that is content. Who is that? Nobody. [Benjamin Franklin] Quote:An author is a fool who, not content with boring those he lives with, insists on boring future generations.
