Contentment

"Give me neither poverty nor riches," said Agar; and this ever will be the prayer of the wise. Our income should be like our shoes; if too small, they will gall and pinch us; but if too large, they will cause us to stumble and trip. But wealth, after all, is a relative thing, since he that has little and wants less, is richer than he that has much but wants more. True contentment depends not upon what we have, but upon what we would have; a tub was large enough for Diogenes, but a world was too small for Alexander.—The Lutheran.
