Respect Quotes

There are, indeed, two forms of discontent: one laborious, the other indolent and complaining. We respect the man of laborious desire, but let us not suppose that his restlessness is peace, or his ambition meekness.

Neither covetous men, nor the grave, can inherit anything; they can but consume. Only contentment can possess.
