“A harvest of peace grows from seeds of contentment.” –Indian proverb

In the preface of history
Humans are made with invention
By the grace of their deities
The sublime in their perfection

The contented man can be happy with what appears to be useless.

—Hung Ko

On the first page of history
Humans purloin the invention
Innovating necessity
Inverting sublime intention

It is not our circumstances that create our discontent or contentment. It is us.

—Vivian Greene

Creative ingenuity
Groundbreaking new necessities
Switched being’s perpetuity
To wireless connectivity

Fortify yourself with contentment, for this is an impregnable fortress.

—Epictetus

Invention is renamed Progress
Industry of necessities
While faith in the sublime invests
In the grace of its deities

A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world.

—Joseph Addison
