Word of the Day: Discontent


“What makes us discontented with our condition is the absurdly exaggerated idea we have of the happiness of others.”

"Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure." --Thomas Edison

"We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.” -- Henri Frederic Amiel

“To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it's no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.” -- Marlene Dietrich

“Were there none who were discontented with what they have, the world would never reach anything better.” -- Florence Nightingale
